CHB230 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

CHB230 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CHB230 circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 30 amp bolt-on breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on the CHB frame platform, this breaker provides the correct form, fit, and function required for compatible panelboards and load centers that accept CHB-style devices. With a 10k A.I.C. interrupting rating at 120/240VAC, the CHB230 is engineered to safely interrupt fault currents within its rated capacity, helping protect conductors and connected equipment from overloads and short circuits. Its bolt-on mounting style ensures a secure mechanical and electrical connection to the panel bus, making it well-suited for applications where vibration resistance and stable installation are important. Designed for long-term service, this breaker delivers consistent protection in commercial and light industrial environments that require a 30A, 2-pole solution.

Key Features and Benefits
