Engineered to maximize distribution, the Eaton BD3030 tandem breaker fits two 30A circuits into a single 1-inch footprint. It allows for new circuits when panel spaces are full. The plug-on connection installs into Eaton Type BR, Bryant, Challenger, and Westinghouse load centers. It replaces discontinued BRD3030 and A3030 breakers. A Class CTL rejection tab prevents overloading in non-notched bus stabs. It provides thermal-magnetic protection with a 10 kAIC rating at 120/240V.

Product FAQs
6 answers
Does the Eaton BD3030 feature a rejection clip?
Yes, the BD3030 is a Class CTL tandem breaker equipped with a rejection tab. It will only seat into panel bus stabs that are specifically notched to accept CTL breakers, preventing overloading in non-CTL panels.
Which older circuit breakers does the BD3030 replace?
The Eaton BD3030 serves as a direct replacement for discontinued Bryant, Challenger, and Westinghouse BRD3030 and A3030 tandem breakers.
How does a tandem breaker like the BD3030 save panel space?
The BD3030 provides two independent 30-amp, 120V circuits while occupying only a single 1-inch slot in your load center. This allows you to add circuits to a panel that is otherwise full.
Which load centers can accept the BD3030 breaker?
This plug-on breaker is compatible with Eaton Type BR, Bryant, Challenger, and Westinghouse load centers, provided the panel is designed to accept CTL tandem breakers.
Can I use a BD3030 to replace a standard single-pole BR breaker?
Yes, the BD3030 fits into the same 1-inch space as a standard single-pole BR breaker, but it provides two independent 30-amp circuits. This is useful for adding a circuit to a full panel, as long as the specific bus slot accepts CTL tandem breakers.
Is the Eaton BD3030 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 30-amp circuit.
