The Cutler‑Hammer BR230 2‑Pole 30 Amp circuit breaker is a dependable thermal‑magnetic breaker designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial electrical systems. Engineered for use in Type BR load centers and panelboards, this breaker helps protect wiring, equipment, and connected loads from damage caused by overloads and short‑circuit conditions.

As part of the proven BR breaker family, the BR230 delivers consistent tripping performance and long‑term durability. Its 2‑pole configuration provides a common disconnect for both ungrounded conductors, making it well suited for 240‑volt applications, dedicated equipment circuits, and multi‑wire branch circuits where simultaneous disconnect is required. The plug‑on design allows for efficient installation while maintaining a secure electrical connection within compatible panels.

The Cutler‑Hammer BR230 circuit breaker is commonly used for electric dryers, water heaters, HVAC equipment, and other moderate‑load applications. It is a trusted choice for electricians, contractors, and maintenance professionals seeking a code‑compliant circuit protection solution backed by the Cutler‑Hammer name.
