Feature: Quicklag industrial thermal-magnetic mechanism combines fast magnetic trip with gentle thermal protection. Business Impact: superior fault-clearance, reduced nuisance trips, and well-coordinated protection across feeder and branch circuits. Application: motor control centers, panel boards, and automation cabinets requiring reliable three-phase protection. Paragraph two highlights how the 30 A rating with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust protection against high-current faults, reducing the risk of damage to feeders and motors while supporting compliant short-circuit performance in industrial environments. Application contexts include switchgear assemblies and control panels where rapid disconnection is essential for uptime and safety. The three-pole bolt-on design simplifies installation and ensures consistent phase protection across 120/240 V systems, accelerating retrofits and minimizing field wiring errors. This model’s HACR rating and certifications reinforce regulatory compliance while enabling straightforward procurement for project specifications. The unit’s clamshell packaging and Switching neutral feature support inventory efficiency and safer maintenance in busy manufacturing facilities. In practice, the BAB3030C contributes to lower total cost of ownership through longer equipment life and fewer unplanned outages.

FAQs
The BAB3030C uses bolt-on mounting for a secure, vibration-resistant fit in industrial panels. As a three-pole device designed for 120/240 V systems, it simplifies layout in switchboards and motor control centers. The bolt-on approach speeds installation, reduces field modification, and supports consistent electrical clearances, improving long-term reliability in automation cabinets.
It is rated for 30 A with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, designed for 120/240 V operation. The unit is non-interchangeable and part of the Quicklag industrial thermal-magnetic family, providing coordinated protection against overloads and short circuits. These specs help ensure selective tripping in multi-circuit panels and protect motors, feeders, and control circuits in automation environments.
Yes. The BAB3030C carries UL Listed and CSA Certified marks and is HACR rated, aligning with North American electrical codes for appliance and motor circuits. These certifications facilitate code-compliant installation in commercial and industrial facilities and support procurement decisions where regulatory compliance and product traceability matter.
The model includes switching neutral as a special feature, and uses Quicklag thermal-magnetic technology for balanced speed and sensitivity. Packaged in a clamshell configuration for easy stocking, it also advertises a 1-year warranty and includes documented specifications. This combination supports reliable protection in critical automation lines and reduces troubleshooting time during maintenance.
Ideal for main feeders and branch circuits in switchgear, control panels, and automation lines that require robust 30 A protection with high fault-current capability. Its three-pole 120/240 V rating makes it suitable for three-phase systems, while bolt-on mounting enables fast upgrades in existing installations without extensive rewiring. This translates to improved system uptime and safer motor control in manufacturing environments.
