Q2430-15 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q2430-15   - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Q2430-15, also referenced as Q243015, is a 15-amp, 3-pole Type Q24 plug-on circuit breaker rated 10k AIC at 240VAC. If you're replacing a breaker in existing equipment, the details matter. It's not enough to match the amperage; the breaker type, number of poles, mounting style, voltage rating, interrupting rating, and physical size should also meet the equipment's requirements. The Q2430-15 measures 4.81 inches high, 2.25 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep and uses a plug-on connection. This makes it a practical choice for maintenance and repair work involving compatible electrical systems that call for the Q24 configuration. It's built to last and, when properly matched to the application, provides the form, fit, and function needed to keep existing equipment in service. Before installation, check the specifications against the breaker being replaced and the requirements of the electrical equipment.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• Material compliance and certification details were not provided in the available specifications for the Q2430-15. If a particular listing or certification is required for your application, check the markings on the breaker and the applicable manufacturer documentation. This is especially important when an installation requires documented UL, CSA, RoHS, or other compliance information.

Where It Works Best

• The Q2430-15 circuit breaker is a good fit for maintenance and replacement work involving existing or legacy electrical equipment designed to accept a Type Q24 plug-on breaker. It is intended for applications that require 15 amps, three poles, 240 VAC, and a 10 kAIC rating.
  
• Replacing an existing breaker? Start with the part number, but don't stop there. Check the Q24 type, plug-on mounting style, pole count, amperage, voltage, AIC rating, and dimensions against the original breaker and equipment documentation. Matching these details helps ensure you're selecting the correct breaker for the application rather than relying on amperage alone.
