Product FAQs

5 answers
What specific panelboards will accept the BAB1030?

This device is engineered for Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, particularly the PRL1a and PRL2a models. It is also directly compatible with legacy bolt-on commercial panels manufactured by Westinghouse, Cutler-Hammer, and Bryant.

Is there a 22kAIC version of this 30A single-pole breaker?

Yes. If your system requires a higher interrupting capacity, the QBHW1030 provides the exact same physical footprint and bolt-on connection but upgrades the short-circuit rating to 22kAIC at 120/240VAC.

Can the BAB1030 be installed in direct current (DC) circuits?

Yes. While it is predominantly used for AC loads, it is also rated for DC applications. It delivers a 5kAIC rating at 24VDC and 48VDC, as well as a 3.8kAIC rating up to 62.5VDC.

Is the BAB1030 certified for HVAC loads?

Yes, it is HACR rated. This certification verifies that the breaker can safely withstand the continuous loads and start-up current surges typical of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration compressors without nuisance tripping.

How does the bolt-on mounting configuration operate?

The breaker connects directly to the panel busbar using a threaded fastener rather than snapping into place. This mechanical bolting method creates a highly secure, vibration-resistant electrical connection standard in commercial and industrial environments.

    Excellent Experience

    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.
