Eaton/Cutler-Hammer FS240030A 2 Pole Circuit Breaker
The Eaton/Cutler-Hammer FS240030A is a 2 Pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 30 Amps and a voltage rating of 480VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 14kAIC at 480V. The FS240030A has a bolt-on connection type and includes long time and instantaneous trip functions.
What panels and equipment are compatible with the FS240030A breaker?
This Series C F-Frame breaker is designed for installation in Eaton and Cutler-Hammer panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, and enclosed industrial control panels that accept bolt-on F-Frame breakers.
How is the FS240030A secured to the panel bus?
It utilizes a bolt-on connection. The breaker must be mechanically bolted directly to the busbars, providing a secure, high-vibration resistant connection typical in commercial and industrial panelboards.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip points adjustable on this model?
No. The FS240030A features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous (LI) trip functions. The 30A rating cannot be field-adjusted.
What conductor sizes and materials are supported by the standard lugs?
The factory-installed lugs are rated for both copper and aluminum (Cu/Al) wire, accepting conductor sizes ranging from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG.
Is this breaker suitable for HVAC equipment protection?
Yes, the FS240030A is HACR rated. It is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 30A, 2-pole breaker.
Will this breaker arrive branded as Eaton or Cutler-Hammer?
Because Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer, the FS240030A may feature either brand name on the label. Both represent the exact same Series C F-Frame molded case circuit breaker.
Can I install internal accessories like a shunt trip in the field?
Series C F-Frame breakers are factory sealed. While internal accessories like shunt trips or auxiliary switches are available for this frame, UL489 requires them to be factory installed to maintain the UL listing.
How can I manually test the mechanical operation of the FS240030A?
This breaker includes a push-to-trip button on the front face. Pressing this button manually exercises the tripping mechanism to verify mechanical operation during routine maintenance.
