Eaton Corporation BD3030 Tandem Circuit Breaker 30A 120V

Product Description

The EATON CORPORATION BD3030 is a single-pole tandem circuit breaker rated at 30 amps and 120 volts. Two 30A breaker units are riveted together in a 1-inch case, allowing two circuits to occupy a single breaker slot in a compatible loadcenter. This design is commonly used when a panel is full and additional circuit capacity is needed without replacing the enclosure. Licensed electricians install this breaker during service upgrades, panel expansions, and new branch circuit additions in residential and light commercial applications.

The BD3030 is suited for residential and light commercial electrical panels where tandem or twin breaker slots are approved by the panel manufacturer. It provides two independently protected 30-amp branch circuits within the space of a standard single-pole breaker slot. Typical applications include dedicated circuits for appliances, HVAC equipment feeds, and other 120-volt branch loads requiring 30-amp protection. Each unit ships with an individual UPC bar code and is sold in bulk packaging of 10 units per package.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always shut off the main breaker and verify the panel is de-energized before handling any breaker or bus bar connection. Confirm the target loadcenter explicitly permits tandem breakers in the intended slot position before installing. Do not install in panels that do not list tandem breakers as approved devices.
