Eaton EGS3030FFB - 30 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton EGS3030FFB, a 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker engineered to deliver reliable branch circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. With a 30 A rating and a robust 600 V capacity, this unit is built to handle the demanding needs of modern electrical systems—from quiet residential distribution to active commercial and light industrial environments.

Why this breaker stands out

• Secure bolt-on mounting provides a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection for long-term reliability, even in busy panels where equipment is subject to movement.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit combines time-tested thermal protection with instantaneous magnetic response, delivering stable, repeatable protection during both normal operation and fault conditions.
• 3-pole design is ideal for 3-phase systems, enabling coordinated protection across all conductors in commercial or light industrial applications.
• OEM-compatible compatibility works with matching OEM loadcenters and panelboards, ensuring a precise fit and consistent performance within your existing electrical ecosystem.
• Differentiated performance from molded case breakers that rely on a single-mode trip mechanism—this unit’s thermal-magnetic approach offers nuanced protection tailored to real-world fault scenarios.
