Product FAQs
7 answersWhat does the "RSP" in the BABRSP2020 catalog number indicate?
The "RSP" designates this as a remotely operated smart circuit breaker equipped with a built-in status switch. It contains an internal solenoid for remote pulse-on and pulse-off control, making it suitable for Eaton Pow-R-Command lighting control panels and automated energy management systems.
Can the BABRSP2020 be installed in a standard residential load center?
No. The BABRSP2020 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for commercial and industrial Eaton Pow-R-Line, Cutler-Hammer, and legacy Westinghouse panelboards. It will not fit in standard plug-on residential load centers.
How is the remote operation wired on the BABRSP2020?
The breaker utilizes color-coded control wires for the internal solenoid. Typically, the blue wire provides power input, the black wire is for remote opening, the red wire is for remote closing, and the yellow wire provides status feedback to the controller or PLC.
Does the remote switching function override the thermal-magnetic trip protection?
No. The internal solenoid controls a separate set of contacts. If the breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit, the main handle moves to the tripped position and the circuit remains open, regardless of any remote close signals sent to the control wires.
Can the BABRSP2020 be manually operated if the remote control system is offline?
Yes. The breaker features a standard manual operating handle that allows you to open or close the main circuit contacts, as well as reset the breaker after a fault. Additionally, an override lever is provided to manually close the remote operator contacts if needed.
What is the difference between Eaton BABRP and BABRSP circuit breakers?
Both are remotely operated bolt-on breakers, but the "RSP" version includes an internal auxiliary status switch. This switch provides feedback to the control system (via the yellow wire) to confirm whether the breaker contacts are currently open or closed.
Is the BABRSP2020 rated for lighting applications?
Yes. This 20A breaker carries a High Intensity Discharge (HID) rating, making it suitable for switching HID lighting loads. Note that the Switching Duty (SWD) rating for fluorescent applications applies only to the 1-pole versions in this series.

We placed our first order with superbreakers.com recently for a breaker we weren't able to acquire locally. I ordered the breaker way ahead of time because I've had issues with shipping for products purchased online in the past. The estimate for the item when I initially ordered was 3 days. Without adding an expedited shipping options, the breaker arrived the next day. We installed it this week, and so far so good. In my opinion, they sell quality parts and have excellent turn around time. Very impressed.
