Eaton QBHGFT1030 - 30 A, 120 V, 1-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton QBHGFT1030—a dependable, bolt-on molded case circuit breaker engineered for precise branch circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. At 30 amps and 120 volts, this 1-pole device delivers reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection where it counts, helping keep your electrical system safe and compliant today and as you grow tomorrow.

Secure, vibration-resistant mounting for lasting reliability

The bolt-on mounting design provides a rigid bus connection, delivering a stable, vibration-resistant fit that stays put even in environments with movement or vibration. This reduces the risk of loose connections and intermittent trips, supporting consistent protection across your entire electrical distribution setup.

Smart protection with thermal-magnetic performance

Equipped with a thermal-magnetic trip unit, the QBHGFT1030 delivers stable, repeatable protection. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic element reacts quickly to short-circuit conditions. The result is faster, more predictable trips that help minimize equipment damage and downtime in both routine and fault scenarios.

Designed for compatibility and easy integration

This 1-pole, bolt-on molded case breaker is engineered to be compatible with matching OEM load centers and panelboards. It’s an ideal choice when you’re stocking or upgrading panel infrastructure that relies on Eaton’s trusted ecosystem, ensuring straightforward installation and dependable performance within residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.
