Square D XO230 - 30A, 2-Pole, Circuit Breaker

The Square D XO230 is a 30A, 2-Pole circuit breaker designed to deliver reliable overcurrent protection in panelboards, switchboards, and control panels. This unit is built to support industrial, commercial, and OEM applications where dependable protection and safe operation are critical in distribution panels and motor control centers.

Key benefits of the Square D XO230 30A 2-Pole Circuit Breaker

• Dual-line protection with a 2-Pole configuration that ensures simultaneous disconnection of both lines on a fault, safeguarding multi‑wire circuits and connected equipment.
• Precise 30A protection tailored for branch circuits and feeders, helping prevent overheating, equipment damage, and nuisance tripping in everyday operations.
• Versatile installation designed for flexible use in panelboards, switchboards, and control panels across industrial and commercial environments.
• Reliability in demanding environments built to support dependable operation in distribution panels and motor control centers, reducing downtime and improving system safety.
• OEM-ready and compatible suited for new builds and retrofit projects where Square D protection is preferred for consistency and streamlined maintenance.

Where and how you’ll use it

Ideal for industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and OEM equipment where robust overcurrent protection is non-negotiable. Use the XO230 to safeguard feeders feeding motors, compressors, conveyors, and other critical loads within motor control centers (MCCs) and distribution panels. Its 2‑pole design makes it particularly effective for 240V circuits common in industrial settings, ensuring both hot legs are cut off together during a fault for safer shutdowns.

Practical considerations for selection and installation

• Confirm the 30A rating aligns with your circuit design and the connected equipment’s full-load current.
• Verify compatibility with your existing Square D panelboard or switchboard bus and mounting style to ensure correct fitment and reliable operation.
• Install per local electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines; installation by a qualified electrician is essential for safety and performance.
• When planning a retrofit, consider OEM equipment compatibility to maintain a consistent protection strategy across the control system.

With the Square D XO230, you’re choosing a proven, purpose-built solution for dependable overcurrent protection in the most demanding distribution environments. It’s not just about breaking the circuit—it’s about preserving equipment, improving safety, and keeping your operations up and running.
