Product FAQs

7 answers
Which panelboards accept the BAB2020 circuit breaker?

This Quicklag breaker is designed for modern Eaton Pow-R-Line load centers. It will also fit legacy Cutler-Hammer, Westinghouse, and Bryant panelboards built to accept bolt-on BAB frames.

Can the Eaton BAB2020 replace a discontinued Westinghouse BAB2020?

Yes. Eaton acquired the distribution equipment lines of Cutler-Hammer, Westinghouse, and Bryant. The modern Eaton BAB2020 is a direct physical and electrical replacement for legacy breakers that share the exact same catalog number.

How much panel space is required for installation?

This 2-pole breaker requires two spaces in the panelboard. It measures exactly 2 inches wide, which conforms to the standard 1-inch per pole spacing used in Quicklag panels.

What is the recommended terminal torque for the box lugs?

Terminal torque varies by conductor size. Tighten 14-10 AWG wire to 20 in-lbs, 8 AWG wire to 25 in-lbs, and 6-4 AWG wire to 27 in-lbs to ensure a secure electrical connection.

What is the advantage of the bolt-on connection?

Standard residential breakers snap into place, while the BAB2020 must be mechanically fastened directly to the busbar. This creates a high-torque, vibration-resistant connection that helps prevent arcing in demanding commercial and industrial environments.

Is the BAB2020 rated for HVAC applications?

Yes, Eaton BAB series breakers from 15A to 100A are Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HACR) rated. This makes the BAB2020 fully approved for protecting HVAC branch circuits.

Does this breaker offer AFCI or GFCI protection?

No, the BAB2020 is a standard thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed for overcurrent and short-circuit protection only. It does not contain arc fault or ground fault circuit interruption technology.

    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.
