Product FAQs
8 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the BAB1010 circuit breaker?
The BAB1010 is designed for commercial Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, including models like the PRL1a, PRL2a, PRL1X, and PRL2X. It is also fully backward compatible with legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer bolt-on panelboards.
Can I use the BAB1010 to replace an older Westinghouse BAB breaker?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment line, so the modern Eaton BAB1010 is a direct, exact replacement for older Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer BAB breakers with the same specifications.
What is the difference between Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and Quicklag BAB breakers?
There is no functional difference. Quicklag is the original product family name, while Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse were the original manufacturers. Eaton now owns these brands and continues to manufacture the BAB frame under the Eaton Cutler-Hammer name, making them fully interchangeable.
Do I need special terminals to use aluminum wire with the BAB1010?
No, the factory-installed box lugs are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG. When using aluminum wire, it is recommended to apply an appropriate oxide inhibitor before terminating.
Is the BAB1010 suitable for DC control circuits?
Yes, this breaker is rated for low-voltage DC applications. It provides a 5kA interrupting capacity at 24VDC and 48VDC, and a 3.8kA interrupting capacity at 62.5VDC, making it versatile for industrial control panels.
What does the LI trip function mean on the BAB1010?
The LI designation indicates that the breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit to provide Long-Time (L) overload protection and Instantaneous (I) short-circuit protection. These trip thresholds are fixed at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
Why choose a bolt-on breaker like the BAB1010 over a plug-on style?
Bolt-on breakers physically screw into the panelboard bus. This creates a secure, vibration-resistant connection that prevents the breaker from loosening over time, which is required in commercial and industrial environments. They cannot be used in standard residential plug-on load centers.
Can I install the BAB1010 in an Eaton BR or CH series load center?
No. The BAB1010 is a bolt-on breaker designed exclusively for commercial panelboards. Eaton BR and CH series load centers require specific plug-on breakers and do not have the threaded bus connections needed for a bolt-on installation.

We placed our first order with superbreakers.com recently for a breaker we weren't able to acquire locally. I ordered the breaker way ahead of time because I've had issues with shipping for products purchased online in the past. The estimate for the item when I initially ordered was 3 days. Without adding an expedited shipping options, the breaker arrived the next day. We installed it this week, and so far so good. In my opinion, they sell quality parts and have excellent turn around time. Very impressed.
