A branch feeder type arc fault circuit interrupter is a device intended to mitigate high current arcing faults in the complete circuit, including connected cords. High current arcing faults can occur from line to neutral or line to ground. These arcing faults are in parallel with the load and produce the most energy of all arcing faults.The branch feeder type AFCI is required in the 1999 and 2002 National Electrical Code. The Combination Type AFCI is required in the 2005, 2008, and 2011 National Electrical

Overview of the BR3030 Circuit Breaker

The BR3030 circuit breaker is a duplex breaker designed to deliver robust electrical protection within residential and commercial setups. Covering a 2-30 amp range on a single pole, it supports both 120V and 240V systems, ensuring versatile compatibility. Rated for a 10,000-ampere interrupt capacity, this non-CTL breaker handles fault currents efficiently while maintaining safety standards. Its duplex design enables two separate circuits to be managed in a compact single breaker slot, optimizing panel space and providing reliable power distribution.

Key Features and Specifications

The BR3030 circuit breaker offers a compact 1-pole construction combined with a broad current rating from 2 to 30 amps, making it highly adaptable to various circuit requirements. It supports 120/240V applications, which is ideal for standard residential alternating current systems. The 10k interrupting capacity (10,000 amps) guarantees effective handling of short circuits and overloads, preventing damage to electrical equipment. Additionally, being a non-CTL breaker means it is designed for specific panel compatibility where CTL restrictions do not apply.

Applications and Benefits of Using BR3030

Ideal for homeowners and electricians needing dependable circuit control, the BR3030 circuit breaker excels in managing moderate electrical loads with safety and efficiency. Its duplex configuration allows two circuits in the space of one, saving panel slots and costs. The breaker is especially beneficial in environments with 120/240V setups requiring robust fault protection. Users benefit from ease of installation, compliance with electrical codes, and peace of mind knowing their systems are protected against potential electrical hazards.
