Product FAQs

7 answers
Which commercial panelboards accept the GHB3070 circuit breaker?

The GHB3070 is designed for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Pow-R-Line panelboards, specifically systems like the PRL1a and PRL2a. It is also compatible with Eaton Series C panelboards, commercial switchboards, and motor control centers.

Can the GHB3070 be applied on a 480V 3-phase delta system?

No. Type GHB breakers have a slash voltage rating of 480Y/277V. This means they are exclusively UL listed for solid-grounded wye systems where the voltage to ground does not exceed 277V. They cannot safely interrupt faults on a 3-wire, ungrounded 480V delta system.

What are the terminal torque specifications for the GHB3070?

The factory pressure lugs accept 10 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. Proper tightening torque varies by wire gauge: use 20 lb-in for 10 AWG, 35 lb-in for 8 AWG, 45 lb-in for 6 to 4 AWG, and 50 lb-in for 3 to 1/0 AWG.

How does the GHB3070 mount inside an enclosure?

This G-Frame breaker features a bolt-on mounting configuration. The line side physically bolts directly to the panelboard busbar using captive screws, while the load side relies on standard pressure lugs for field wire termination.

Is the GHB3070 HACR rated for HVAC equipment protection?

Yes. Current production Eaton Series C G-Frame breakers, including the 70A GHB3070, carry an HACR rating. This makes them fully compliant for use as branch circuit protection for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

Does the GHB3070 carry an SWD rating for lighting control?

No. Under UL 489 standards, only 15A and 20A single-pole GHB breakers carry an SWD (Switching Duty) rating. A 70A 3-pole breaker like the GHB3070 is not listed to be used as a regular switch for fluorescent lighting loads.

Is the Eaton GHB3070 a direct replacement for the Westinghouse GHB3070?

Yes. Following Eaton's acquisition of the Westinghouse distribution equipment division in 1994, the two product lines were merged. A modern Eaton or Cutler-Hammer GHB3070 is an exact, UL-listed drop-in replacement for older Westinghouse breakers bearing the same catalog number.

    Used model

    Breaker ohm tested out fine and currently working on load test with a longer term battery charger. So far so good. Packaged very well no visible damages during shipping. Even received a follow up call from customer that I missed.

    Good Product, but Disappointed With the Service

    Good product, but I was disappointed with the service. I accidentally placed two separate orders and ended up paying freight on both. I had requested that they combine the orders, and had that been done with the freight waived, it would have saved me money.

    Other than that, everything was good. I’m just disappointed that no one communicated this to me.
