Square D QO230VH - 30A, 240VAC, 2-Pole, Circuit Breaker

Meet the Square D QO230VH — a rugged 30A, 240V, 2-pole circuit breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in demanding electrical environments. Built to perform in panelboards, switchboards, and control panels, it delivers reliable safety where it matters most—across industrial, commercial, and OEM applications.

• Current rating: 30A
• Voltage rating: 240VAC
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Breaker type: Circuit Breaker
• Primary use: Panelboards, switchboards, and control panels for distribution and motor control centers

Why this matters in real-world setups: the 2-pole design protects both hot legs of a 240V circuit, ensuring balanced protection and a single, clean shutoff in fault conditions. This is crucial for motor loads, feeders, and control circuits where uninterrupted protection and predictable disconnection improve equipment longevity and operator safety.

Ideal for environments where reliable, long-term protection is non-negotiable, the QO230VH fits seamlessly into Square D’s trusted QO ecosystem, providing consistent performance across distribution panels and motor control centers. It’s a practical choice for upgrading older panels, expanding new equipment, or stocking essential OEM components for resale and field service.

Practical use cases you’ll appreciate:

• Upgrading industrial MCCs and commercial panelboards to meet current protection standards
• Feeding 240V motor circuits where both hot legs must trip together to prevent backfeed
• OEM equipment integrations requiring compact, reliable overcurrent protection in control enclosures
• Distribution panel expansions where a standard 2-pole, 30A breaker is needed for balanced protection

Compared to single-pole solutions on 240V lines, the QO230VH delivers synchronized interruption on both conductors, reducing nuisance trips and simplifying panel layout. Its alignment with the Square D QO family means easier stocking, consistent performance, and straightforward maintenance for technicians familiar with this trusted brand.
