Product FAQs

7 answers
What panelboards accept the BAB2020S circuit breaker?

This bolt-on miniature breaker fits Eaton Pow-R-Line, Westinghouse, and Cutler-Hammer panelboards designed to accept Quicklag BAB frame circuit breakers.

Does the BAB2020S come with a shunt trip?

Yes, the S suffix indicates this breaker features a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via a control circuit for safety or automation applications.

What wire sizes are compatible with the box lugs on this breaker?

The box lugs on the BAB2020S are rated to accept 14 AWG to 4 AWG aluminum or copper conductors. The unusually large maximum wire size for a 20A breaker allows for easy termination of oversized wires when compensating for voltage drop on long runs.

Can the BAB2020S be used in DC control circuits?

Yes, it is rated for DC applications up to 80VDC with a 5kAIC interrupting rating, making it suitable for specific industrial control panels and battery backup systems.

How does a bolt-on connection differ from a plug-on connection for this frame?

Bolt-on breakers like the BAB2020S use screws to fasten directly to the panelboard bus. This creates a secure, vibration-resistant connection preferred in commercial and industrial environments to prevent arcing or accidental disconnection.

Can I use this Eaton breaker to replace an older Westinghouse BAB2020S?

Yes. Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse distribution equipment lines. This Eaton BAB2020S is a direct, backward-compatible replacement for the legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer versions.

Does this breaker provide Ground Fault or Arc Fault protection?

No. The BAB2020S uses standard thermal-magnetic trip technology to protect against overloads and short circuits. It is not equipped with personnel GFCI or AFCI functionality.

    Excellent Experience

    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.
