Eaton BQL30 Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker - HACR Rated

Bolt-on classic replacement design simplifies retrofits and minimizes downtime in service panels. This BQL30 unit fits Eaton’s BQL family and leverages existing bus bars for rapid installation without major panel modifications. In commercial and light-industrial environments, facilities can upgrade protection while preserving space, reducing field wiring errors and inventory complexity. Wire termination is compatible with Cu/Al #14-8 AWG, providing secure, code-compliant connections across a wide range of feeders. The bolt-on mounting keeps the original footprint, so technicians can execute replacements with minimal tools and training. This compatibility supports quick inventory management and reduces the risk of mismatched components during maintenance. Electrical performance centers on a 30 A amperage rating and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 120/240 VAC, delivering robust short-circuit protection for critical circuits. The device is designed for 120/240 V service, enabling reliable protection in HVAC controls, lighting panels, and general distribution. Operators benefit from predictable tripping behavior that helps prevent damage to downstream equipment. HACR-rated compliance aligns protection with HVAC energy-management needs, supporting efficient operation without compromising safety. This breaker supports common industry configurations such as single-pole protection and prevents nuisance trips when loads fluctuate. The 5 in length, 3 in width, and 1 in height footprint simplify cabinet zoning and improve accessibility during service. From retrofit projects to ongoing maintenance, the BQL30 delivers measurable value: reduced downtime, lower replacement costs, and streamlined spares accumulation. Its classic replacement designation means technicians recognize it quickly, limiting training time during field work. In short, it pairs a proven protection scheme with Eaton’s legacy reliability to keep critical processes online.
