The Square D EDB24030 – a 30 A, 480 V, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to reliably protect branch circuits in panelboards and load centers. Built for durability, this breaker delivers a secure, vibration-resistant bus connection thanks to its bolt-on mounting, helping maintain consistent electrical performance in demanding environments. A robust thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection. The thermal element senses gradual overcurrent to prevent nuisance trips, while the magnetic element kicks in during short-circuit events for immediate fault interruption. That means faster, safer shutdown of problematic circuits and reduced equipment damage in high-stress scenarios. Designed for seamless compatibility, the Square D EDB24030 is intended to work with matching OEM load centers and panelboards. This alignment ensures proper fit, coordinated protection, and predictable electrical behavior across your distribution system. It’s suitable for a range of applications across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where reliable 480 V, 2-pole protection is required. Key specifications at a glance:
