Special features
Bolt-on mounting
The BAB3030H uses quicklag industrial thermal-magnetic protection with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, delivering fast, selective trips that minimize collateral electrical disturbances and downtime. This translates to lower maintenance costs and higher equipment availability in manufacturing lines and process plants, especially where motor loads are common and fault conditions must be isolated quickly. The 30 A amperage rating aligns protection with typical small-to-medium motor and control circuits, reducing nuisance trips while safeguarding critical equipment and wiring from overloads. Bolt-on mounting simplifies on-site installation, enabling faster panel updates and serviceability without specialized tools. The three-pole design supports robust three-phase protection in MCCs and switchgear assemblies, improving coordination with upstream protection devices and simplifying fault analysis. Certifications such as UL Listed and CSA Certified ensure regulatory compliance, while HACR rating supports building and safety codes in commercial-industrial facilities. The 240 V voltage rating broadens compatibility with standard industrial control circuits, allowing seamless integration into existing panels and equipment. Overall, this breaker delivers dependable protection with straightforward maintenance, helping OEMs and maintenance teams meet uptime targets and safety standards.

FAQs
The BAB3030H uses bolt-on mounting, designed for rapid installation in standard electrical panels and motor control centers. Its three-pole configuration fits typical 3-phase panel layouts, facilitating straightforward rack and DIN-rail integration where applicable while maintaining secure mechanical and electrical contact. This mounting approach also simplifies serviceability during routine maintenance or upgrades.
Key specifications include a 30 A amperage rating, 240 V voltage rating, and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. It is a three-pole device designed for industrial power applications, with non-interchangeable trip characteristics. These specs ensure proper protection for motor and control circuits in typical 3-phase industrial environments, while meeting common utility and manufacturer protection requirements.
Yes. The BAB3030H is HACR rated, meaning it is suitable for HVAC and other applications where heat, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment are connected. Combined with UL Listed and CSA Certified statuses, this provides compliance with applicable electrical codes and performance expectations in commercial and industrial settings.
To minimize nuisance trips, ensure the load current does not exceed the 30 A rating and verify proper wiring per the device’s three-pole configuration. Use correct torque on bolt-on connections to maintain secure contacts, and coordinate protection with upstream devices to avoid unnecessary tripping. Regularly inspect for wiring degradation or overheating in demanding environments.
Maintenance benefits include simplified bolt-on installation that reduces service time, predictable trip characteristics for fast fault isolation, and robust durability with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. ROI is driven by reduced downtime, improved equipment protection, and easier future panel upgrades due to standard mounting and compatibility with common 240 V, three-phase systems.
