Allen-Bradley 140MG-G8P-C30 - 30 A, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Allen-Bradley 140MG-G8P-C30, a 30A, 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to shield panelboards and load centers from overcurrent and short circuits. Built for environments where vibration is a factor, this unit features a secure bolt-on mounting that delivers a rigid, dependable bus connection, minimizing loosening and contact issues over time.

Its thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection: the thermal element handles sustained overloads with precision, while the magnetic element activates quickly on short circuits, reducing damage risk to downstream wiring and equipment.

Key benefits include:

• Secure bolt-on mounting for a solid, vibration-resilient connection to the bus
• Balanced protection via a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that adapts to load conditions
• Seamless compatibility with matching OEM load centers and panelboards
• Ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications requiring reliable three-pole protection
