Description
Serving as a reliable solution for older residential systems, the GA130 is a legacy 30A, 1-pole molded case circuit breaker. It features standard thermal-magnetic trip functions to protect heavier branch circuits. This plug-on breaker is engineered to fit perfectly into General Switch load centers without any adapters. When seeking a modern equivalent, this component is replaced by the UBIGA130 substitute. With a 10kAIC rating at 120/240VAC, it is HACR rated for safe use with HVAC equipment.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhich load centers are compatible with the GA130 circuit breaker?
This component is engineered specifically for legacy General Switch residential load centers. It fits directly into the panel without the need for mounting adapters.
What are the modern cross-reference replacements for the GA130?
The Connecticut Electric UBIGA130 is a direct UL-classified substitute. Additionally, Eaton CL series breakers are UL-classified for replacement use in many legacy General Switch enclosures.
Is the GA130 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment that requires a dedicated 30-amp circuit.
Does the GA130 include arc-fault or ground-fault protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker. It provides essential long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection, but does not feature AFCI or GFCI capabilities.
Can GA frame breakers be installed in modern Siemens panels?
No. Even though Siemens manages the General Switch legacy catalog, GA frame breakers are not interchangeable with modern Siemens Type QP or QT breakers. They must only be installed in approved General Switch load centers.
What should be checked on the panel bus before installing this plug-on breaker?
Because General Switch panels are older legacy systems, inspect the bus bar for pitting, corrosion, or signs of arcing. A clean, smooth bus bar is required to ensure a secure, low-resistance connection when seating the breaker.
