Technical specifications for the Leviton LB230-AS indicate a 30A rated component utilizing a hydraulic-magnetic trip mechanism for consistent performance across varied ambient temperatures. Material analysis confirms the inclusion of an Espressif ESP32-WROOM chipset, which facilitates real-time current sensing and energy reporting via 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. The plug-on neutral design is specifically engineered for the Leviton Load Center, utilizing a proprietary busbar interface that maintains a 10kA interrupting rating.
Performance metrics demonstrate +/- 3% accuracy in kilowatt-hour energy monitoring. Remote capabilities are limited to emergency tripping to comply with safety regulations, meaning the breaker cannot be remotely reset to the "ON" position. Monitoring and firmware management require the Leviton LDATA Hub, as the metal panel enclosure may attenuate wireless signals, necessitating a robust local network backbone for consistent telemetry.
The hardware feature set includes:
- Modes of operation: Manual, Remote Emergency Trip, Revenue-Grade Telemetry, Load Analysis
The Leviton 30A Smart Plug-On Circuit Breaker is designed for heavy-load circuits like HVAC or water heaters. If a universal monitoring solution is needed for an existing Square D or Eaton panel, the Emporia Vue 3 Smart Home Energy Monitor provides a non-invasive way to track similar high-amperage loads.
Within the smart power ecosystem, this device functions as an integrated safety and data acquisition node.
