16030

What type of electrical component is this?

This is a PowerPact B circuit breaker designed for electrical distribution applications. It combines thermal overload protection with magnetic short-circuit protection.

What is the rated current?

The circuit breaker has a line-rated current of 30 A, with the thermal-magnetic trip unit rated at 30 A at an ambient reference temperature of 40 °C.

How many poles does the circuit breaker have?

It is a single-pole circuit breaker, identified as a 1P configuration.

What trip technology does it use?

The 16030 uses thermal-magnetic trip technology. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic element provides rapid interruption under short-circuit conditions.

What is its breaking capacity?

Its breaking capacity varies with the applied voltage. Ratings include 25 kA at 240 V AC, 18 kA at 480Y/277 V AC and 14 kA at 600Y/347 V AC under UL 489 conditions.

Which network frequency is supported?

The circuit breaker is suitable for AC electrical networks operating at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

How is the device operated?

It is operated locally through a toggle mechanism, providing straightforward manual switching and reset control.

How can the circuit breaker be mounted?

The unit can be fitted to a 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail or secured to a mounting plate using screws, depending on the panel arrangement.

What conductor sizes can the terminals accommodate?

The EverLink terminal arrangement supports a range of copper or aluminium conductors. Depending on the terminal position and conductor construction, accepted sizes extend from 2.5 mm² up to 95 mm².

What are the product dimensions?

The circuit breaker measures approximately 137 mm high, 27 mm wide and 80 mm deep. Its narrow 27 mm width corresponds to three 9 mm modular pitches.

How much does the unit weigh?

The net product weight is approximately 0.51 kg.

What environmental protection ratings apply?

The front cover is rated IP40 in accordance with IEC 60529, while the enclosure has an IK07 mechanical impact rating in accordance with IEC 62262.

What operating temperatures can it withstand?

The specified ambient operating temperature range is -25 °C to 70 °C. The stated storage temperature range is -50 °C to 85 °C.

Can it operate at high altitude?

It can operate at altitudes up to 2,000 metres without derating. Operation up to 5,000 metres is possible with appropriate derating.

What are its insulation and impulse ratings?

The rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the rated impulse withstand voltage is 8 kV in accordance with IEC 60947-2.

Which standards and certifications are associated with the device?

Applicable standards include UL 489, EN/IEC 60947-2, EN/IEC 60947-5-1, CSA C22.2 No. 5, NEMA AB1, GB 14048.2 and NMX J-266. Listed certifications include UL, CSA, IEC, CCC, EAC and NOM.

What is the expected mechanical and electrical endurance?

Published characteristics indicate electrical endurance of up to 10,000 operating cycles. Mechanical endurance may vary by the specific configuration documented for this family, so the exact variant should be confirmed before selection.

Is the circuit breaker suitable for isolation?

Yes. The device is designated as suitable for isolation in accordance with IEC 60947-2 and is classified as utilisation category A.
