Product FAQs

8 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the GHB1020 circuit breaker?

This breaker is designed for use with Eaton Pow-R-Line C and Series C panelboards. It mounts directly to the panelboard bus using a bolt-on connection.

Can I use the GHB1020 in place of a BAB series circuit breaker?

No. While both are bolt-on breakers manufactured by Eaton, the GHB and BAB series have different physical dimensions, frame types, and voltage applications. The GHB1020 is a G-Frame breaker built for 277VAC systems, whereas BAB breakers are typically used in 120/240VAC panels. They are not interchangeable.

How does the interrupting capacity (AIC) vary based on system voltage?

The GHB1020 offers a maximum interrupting capacity of 65kAIC when used in 120VAC applications. However, when installed in a 277VAC system, the interrupting rating drops to 14kAIC. It is critical to verify the available fault current at your specific installation voltage.

Can the GHB1020 be utilized in direct current (DC) control panels?

Yes. In addition to alternating current applications, this thermal-magnetic breaker is safety rated for use in DC systems up to 125VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 14kAIC.

What wire types and sizes are compatible with the standard lugs?

The factory-installed load lugs on the GHB1020 accept conductor sizes ranging from 14 AWG to 10 AWG. The terminals are rated for use with both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) wire.

Is it possible to adjust the trip curve on this circuit breaker?

No. The GHB1020 features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip functions for long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. The trip settings are factory-calibrated and cannot be adjusted by the installer.

Are Eaton GHB1020 and Cutler-Hammer GHB1020 the exact same breaker?

Yes. Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer brand and integrated its product lines. A breaker labeled Cutler-Hammer GHB1020 is functionally and physically identical to a modern Eaton GHB1020.

Why is a bolt-on connection preferred for this type of industrial breaker?

Bolt-on connections physically secure the breaker to the panelboard busbar using mechanical fasteners. This creates a vibration-resistant contact that reduces the risk of arcing, heat buildup, and accidental disconnection in commercial or industrial environments.

    Used model

    Breaker ohm tested out fine and currently working on load test with a longer term battery charger. So far so good. Packaged very well no visible damages during shipping. Even received a follow up call from customer that I missed.

    Good Product, but Disappointed With the Service

    Good product, but I was disappointed with the service. I accidentally placed two separate orders and ended up paying freight on both. I had requested that they combine the orders, and had that been done with the freight waived, it would have saved me money.

    Other than that, everything was good. I’m just disappointed that no one communicated this to me.
