Product FAQs

8 answers
What does the "S" suffix in the BAB2100S catalog number indicate?

The "S" suffix designates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by an external control signal, drawing 2.6A at 120VAC during activation.

How much panel space does the BAB2100S require?

Although it is a 2-pole breaker, the factory-installed shunt trip requires one additional pole space. Therefore, the BAB2100S occupies three pole spaces total in the panelboard.

Which panelboards accept the BAB2100S circuit breaker?

This bolt-on breaker is designed for Eaton Pow-R-Line commercial panelboards. It is also backward compatible with legacy Westinghouse and Bryant panelboards that accept BAB-frame bolt-on breakers.

What are the wiring requirements for the BAB2100S box lugs?

The terminals accept 8 AWG to 1/0 AWG conductors and are rated for both aluminum and copper wire. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation as required by the panelboard labeling.

Can the BAB2100S be utilized in DC circuits?

Yes. While primarily used for 120/240VAC systems, it is also rated for DC applications up to 80VDC. It provides a 5kA interrupting capacity across 24VDC, 48VDC, 62.5VDC, and 80VDC systems.

Can I use the BAB2100S in a standard Eaton BR or CH load center?

No. The BAB2100S is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for commercial panelboards. It is not interchangeable with plug-on BR or CH series breakers used in residential load centers.

How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit in the BAB2100S operate?

The breaker uses a fixed thermal element to provide long-time (L) protection against sustained overloads, and a fixed magnetic element for instantaneous (I) protection to quickly clear short circuits.

What happens if my system fault current exceeds the 10kAIC rating of the BAB2100S?

The BAB2100S is rated to safely clear a maximum fault current of 10kA at 240VAC. If the available fault current at the panel exceeds this value, you must use a higher-rated breaker, such as the QBHW series, unless a valid series rating applies.

    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.
