Description
Sourced for older residential applications, this 40-amp, two-pole component restores power distribution in aging infrastructure. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for 240V appliances like electric ranges or medium HVAC units. Designed specifically for Wadsworth Type A load centers, the unit features a metal foot and Class CTL rejection mechanism. For modern alternatives, the UBIA240NI serves as a recognized substitute. Non-interchangeable (NI) construction ensures proper fitment.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersCan the Wadsworth A240NI be installed in non-Wadsworth panels?
No. This breaker features a non-interchangeable (NI) construction specifically engineered for Wadsworth Type A load centers. It cannot be safely installed in panels from other manufacturers.
Is there an active replacement for the obsolete Wadsworth A240NI?
Yes. Connecticut Electric produces a modern, ETL-listed replacement under the catalog number UBIA240NI, which is designed as a direct substitute for Wadsworth Type A panels.
What physical features secure this breaker into the load center?
The A240NI uses a plug-on mounting configuration equipped with a metal foot. It also incorporates a Class CTL rejection mechanism to ensure proper seating and prevent installation in restricted panel spaces.
What typical loads does this 40A breaker support?
A 40-amp, two-pole breaker is commonly deployed to protect 240V residential and light commercial circuits, such as those powering electric ranges, medium HVAC equipment, or dedicated subpanels.
How does the Class CTL feature protect the electrical panel?
The Circuit Total Limiting (CTL) mechanism physically rejects the breaker if an installer attempts to place it in a panel slot that would exceed the load center's maximum designed circuit capacity, preventing dangerous overloads.

I recently purchased a breaker panel cover. It arrived in a timely manner well packed and unharmed.
The shipping was free so I was sceptical.
All is well.
