FAQs
The BAB3030HI uses bolt-on mounting and a three-pole configuration to fit distribution panels up to 240 V (three-phase, four-wire max). Plan for space around the panel to access the unit and ensure proper clearance for heat dissipation. The device is designed for straightforward wiring with four conductors and supports remote trip options if a shunt trip is used.
Key ratings include 30 A peak current rating, 10 kAIC interrupt capacity, and 240 V operating voltage. The trip type is T196, and it supports shunt trip at 120–240 V. These specs enable reliable protection for motors and other three-phase loads while maintaining selectivity in fault conditions.
Yes. The unit is HACR Rated and UL Listed with CSA Certification, aligning it with HVAC and general industrial panel standards. Its 3-pole, bolt-on design makes it a practical fit for distribution panels in commercial and industrial facilities requiring compliant protection.
The BAB3030HI is UL Listed, CSA Certified, and HACR Rated. These certifications ensure compliance with safety and performance standards, facilitating regulatory approvals and reducing risk during audits or inspections.
With a 1-year warranty, UL/CSA certifications, and a compact bolt-on design, maintenance is simplified and downtime costs are minimized. The 30 A rating and 10 kAIC interrupt capacity provide durable protection against faults, potentially reducing asset damage and extending equipment life.
