The ABB PL702U-K30 is a 2 Pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 30 Amps and a voltage rating of 120/208/240VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 35kAIC at 240V. The PL702U-K30 has a bolt-on mounting type and includes long time and instantaneous trip functions.
What panelboards accept the ABB PL702U-K30 circuit breaker?
This breaker is exclusively designed for ABB ProLine UL 67 panelboards. It is not compatible with standard ABB miniature circuit breaker enclosures or standard load centers.
How does the mounting mechanism work for the PL702U-K30?
The breaker features separated electrical and mechanical connections. It plugs directly into the ProLine busbar for electrical contact and secures mechanically to the chassis using a non-energized bolt-on screw.
What safety advantages does the ProLine breaker design provide?
When installed in a ProLine panelboard, the system provides an IP20 touch-safe environment. The mechanical mounting screw carries no current, protecting installers from accidental shock during maintenance or installation.
What applications are best suited for the K-curve trip characteristic on this breaker?
The K-curve thermal-magnetic trip unit is optimized for loads with high inrush currents, such as motors, transformers, and specific industrial equipment. It prevents nuisance tripping during normal startup spikes while maintaining fast response times to short circuits.
Does this breaker provide current-limiting protection?
Yes, the PL702U-K30 utilizes ABB current-limiting technology. It is engineered to clear short-circuit faults rapidly, reducing let-through energy and minimizing potential damage to downstream circuits and equipment.
What is the updated catalog number for the PL702U-K30?
ABB has transitioned the PL700U series to the PLU700M series under their life cycle management program. The PLU702M-K30 is the direct replacement and offers the same form, fit, and function for 30A, 2-pole applications.
