Product FAQs
6 answers
Which load centers and enclosures are compatible with the BWH2200?
This main breaker is designed for use in Eaton Type BR load centers, ECB unit enclosures, meter stacks, and meter breaker panels that accept BW-frame breakers.
What is the difference between the Eaton BW2200 and BWH2200 circuit breakers?
The primary difference is the short-circuit interrupting rating. The BW2200 has a 10 kAIC rating, while the BWH2200 features a higher 25 kAIC rating at 120/240VAC. Both share the same physical dimensions and mounting style.
What are the acceptable wire sizes and torque specifications for the BWH2200 terminals?
The factory-installed lugs accept copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 2 AWG to 300 kcmil. The terminal wire pressure screws must be torqued to 250 lb-in during installation.
Can the BWH2200 be used to replace an older Cutler-Hammer BW2200?
Yes, the BWH2200 is a direct physical replacement for the BW2200. It upgrades the short-circuit interrupting capacity from 10 kAIC to 25 kAIC while maintaining the exact same footprint and lug configuration.
Is the BWH2200 suitable for use as a service entrance main disconnect?
Yes, this breaker is specifically designed to serve as a primary main disconnect in residential and commercial service entrance equipment, providing thermal-magnetic overload and short-circuit protection.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the BWH2200?
No, the BWH2200 features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with factory-set long-time and instantaneous trip functions.
