Eaton / Cutler-Hammer BAB3020H Miniature Circuit Breaker

This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line 1 (PRL1a and PRL1X) panelboards, as well as legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer panelboards that accept bolt-on Quicklag branch breakers.

Yes. Eaton acquired the distribution equipment divisions of Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer. The current Eaton BAB3020H is a direct drop-in replacement for vintage breakers from those brands bearing the exact same catalog number.

In Eaton's Quicklag nomenclature, the "H" suffix indicates that the breaker is rated for 240VAC applications, distinguishing it from the standard 120/240VAC rated 1-pole and 2-pole breakers in the BAB product line.

For the box lugs on this breaker, torque 14 to 10 AWG wire to 20 in-lbs, and 8 AWG wire to 25 in-lbs. Always refer to the manufacturer label on the side of the breaker to confirm before terminating.

As a 3-pole Quicklag miniature circuit breaker, it requires three standard 1-inch spaces on the panelboard bus, taking up a total of 3 inches of width in the enclosure.

Yes, the box lugs are rated for both copper and aluminum (Al/Cu) conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 8 AWG. When using aluminum wire, electricians should apply a certified oxide-inhibiting joint compound to ensure a secure, long-lasting connection.

The HACR certification means the BAB3020H has been tested by UL for use with Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration equipment. It is designed to safely handle the momentary inrush currents generated by motor-driven HVAC loads without nuisance tripping.

Yes. It is compatible with standard Quicklag lockout and tagout (LOTO) accessories. You can install a padlockable handle lockoff device (sold separately) to secure the breaker during system maintenance.
