Product FAQs
7 answersCan I install the BAB1020 in a residential Eaton load center?
No. The BAB1020 is an industrial bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, as well as compatible legacy Westinghouse and Bryant panels. It will not fit in standard residential load centers that require plug-on BR or CH series breakers.
Which specific Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards accept this breaker?
It is designed for Pow-R-Line enclosures configured for 1-inch Quicklag bolt-on branch breakers. This most commonly includes the PRL1a and PRL1a-LX series panelboards.
Will this replace an older Westinghouse BAB1020 breaker?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment line. A modern Eaton BAB1020 is a direct, exact drop-in replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer breakers with the same catalog number.
Can the BAB1020 replace discontinued QNBL series breakers?
Yes. This component serves as an exact replacement for older, discontinued QNBL1020 models used in vintage bolt-on panelboards.
Is the BAB1020 rated for switching duty (SWD) and HACR applications?
Yes. It carries an SWD rating, meaning it is approved for regularly switching fluorescent lighting loads on and off. It is also HACR certified for safely protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.
Can I use the BAB1020 in place of a GHB1020?
No. While both are Eaton bolt-on circuit breakers, they belong to different frames and fit different panelboards. The BAB series fits 1-inch Quicklag chassis (like the PRL1a), while the GHB series fits 277/480V rated panelboards (like the PRL2a) and has a completely different physical footprint.
Does this breaker provide arc fault (AFCI) or ground fault (GFCI) protection?
No. The BAB1020 provides standard thermal-magnetic branch circuit protection against overloads and short circuits. It does not include built-in AFCI or GFCI protection.

The right breakers at a great price.

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.
