Designed to manage specialized lighting loads, this 20-amp single-pole breaker features an HID rating for high-intensity discharge fixtures. It delivers consistent long-time and instantaneous trip functions for commercial facilities. This plug-on component installs into Square D NEHB panelboards. It acts as a reliable replacement for aging infrastructure and is frequently substituted by the EHB14020HID model in updated catalogs.
Which panelboards accept the Square D EH14020HID circuit breaker?
This plug-on breaker is designed exclusively for legacy Square D NEHB panelboards. It is not compatible with modern NF series panelboards, which require EDB, EGB, or EJB series breakers.
What does the HID suffix indicate on this circuit breaker?
The HID designation means the breaker is rated for switching High Intensity Discharge lighting loads. It is engineered to handle the high inrush currents typical of HID lighting systems without nuisance tripping.
What is the difference between the EH14020HID and the EHB14020HID?
Both breakers share the same electrical ratings and fit NEHB panelboards, but they use different mounting methods. The EH14020HID is a plug-on breaker, while the EHB14020HID is a bolt-on breaker.
Is the EH14020HID suitable for switching fluorescent lighting?
Yes. In addition to its HID rating, this breaker is SWD (Switching Duty) rated, meaning it is approved for the regular switching of 120V or 277V fluorescent lighting circuits.
Are Square D EH series breakers still in active production?
No. The EH and EHB breaker lines, along with the NEHB panelboards they install into, are legacy products that have been discontinued by Schneider Electric.
Can the EH14020HID be used for HVAC circuits?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved by UL for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that specifies HACR type overcurrent protection.
