Thermal-magnetic protection with a 65 kAIC interrupt rating provides fast, selective trips on fault currents, reducing downtime and protecting motor circuits and control panels in high-demand manufacturing environments. This translates to improved equipment availability and safer startup sequences for process lines. Two-pole, 120/240 V operation with fixed terminals and plug-on mounting simplifies installation, minimizes wiring complexity, and shortens commissioning time, delivering lower field labor costs and easier retrofits in existing enclosures. The compact footprint (3.8 in L x 0.9 in H x 3.1 in W) and light weight (0.4 lb) enable higher-density panel layouts, reducing cabinet space and inventory burden. UL Listed, CSA Certified, HACR rated, and backed by a 1-year warranty, the unit meets key regulatory standards while providing robust support for predictive maintenance programs. Non-Interchangeable design helps ensure correct protection level in scalable Eaton protection schemes, simplifying part identification and service scheduling for OEMs and integrators.

FAQs
The QHPW2030 is designed for industrial control panels and machine enclosures using plug-on mounting with fixed terminals. Its two-pole design fits standard 120/240 V circuits common in motor and control applications. When upgrading, verify enclosure space, mounting method, and conductor routing to ensure a clean installation and reliable fault protection.
65 kAIC indicates the maximum fault current the breaker can interrupt without damage. For motor control and process lines, this rating provides a robust margin against short-circuit events, helping protect downstream equipment. In practice, select this model when your system may experience high fault currents to minimize cascading trips and damage.
Yes. The QHPW2030 is HACR rated, suitable for motor and lighting circuits, and UL Listed with CSA Certification. These certifications confirm compliance with safety and performance standards, which simplifies regulatory approvals and supports reliable operation in commercial and light-industrial environments.
The QHPW2030 is a fixed, non-interchangeable two-pole unit with plug-on mounting designed for specific protection needs. While it shares the QHPW family characteristics, ensure exact amperage, voltage rating, trip type, and mounting compatibility before replacing components to avoid mismatched protection and warranty implications.
The device provides predictable, long-term protection with a 1-year warranty and certified safety features, reducing unplanned downtime. Its straightforward installation reduces commissioning time, and standardized Eaton components simplify spares management. Over the lifecycle, the result is improved uptime, safer motor control, and lower total cost of ownership for panel builders and maintenance teams.
