FAQs
The BAB3030HG uses bolt-on mounting and is a three-pole device suitable for four-wire 240 V systems. Begin by ensuring power is disconnected, mount the breaker securely into the panel frame, align with the bus and conductors, connect the four wires per your panel design, and verify proper clearance. Tighten mounting hardware to spec and perform a functional test to confirm correct tripping and energization behavior. This approach minimizes installation time and ensures reliable protection for your loads.
The 10 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the maximum fault current the breaker can interrupt without damage to itself or surrounding equipment. This rating supports safer operation in moderate-to-high fault environments and helps meet typical industrial protective standards. When designing a system, ensure your supply fault current does not exceed this value to maintain coordinated protection and reduce the risk of cascading outages.
Yes, this model offers a 400 Hz calibrated option as part of its miscellaneous features. While standard industrial power is often 50/60 Hz, aerospace and certain defense or specialty automation applications use 400 Hz. If your system operates at 400 Hz, confirm the calibration option is enabled and coordinate with your power system engineer to ensure proper protection characteristics and compatibility with other equipment in the loop.
The Eaton BAB3030HG carries UL Listed certification, providing third-party safety assurance aligned with electrical code requirements. This certification supports safer installation in commercial and industrial environments and helps streamline procurement, inspections, and maintenance planning for compliant protection schemes.
With a 1-year warranty and durable thermal-magnetic design, the BAB3030HG delivers reliable protection with low maintenance needs. Its 30 A rating and 10 kAIC interrupt capability reduce downtime by quickly isolating faults, while bolt-on mounting simplifies replacement or upgrades in existing panels. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance costs and improved uptime for critical manufacturing processes.
