Product FAQs
7 answersWhat does the HS1 suffix indicate on the BAB3050HS1?
The HS1 suffix designates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 24V to 48V DC shunt trip mechanism. This allows for remote tripping of the breaker in automated control or safety shutdown circuits.
What is the difference between the BAB3050HS1 and the BAB3050HS?
The difference lies in the shunt trip coil voltage. The BAB3050HS1 is equipped with a 24V to 48V DC shunt trip, whereas the BAB3050HS features a 120V to 240V AC shunt trip. You must select the correct suffix based on your control circuit voltage.
Which panelboards are compatible with the BAB3050HS1?
This breaker is engineered for Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards. Because Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse distribution equipment lines, it is also fully compatible with legacy Westinghouse and Bryant panelboards that require bolt-on BAB frame breakers.
Can I install the BAB3050HS1 in a plug-on load center?
No, this is a strictly bolt-on circuit breaker. It will not fit in load centers that require plug-on breakers, such as Eaton BR or CH series panels.
How is the shunt trip mechanism wired during installation?
The integrated shunt trip features external pigtail leads extending from the breaker housing. These leads must be spliced into your 24V or 48V DC control circuit to enable the remote disconnect functionality.
What does the LI trip function code mean for this breaker?
The LI designation indicates that the breaker features Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The Long-Time function handles sustained overloads, while the Instantaneous function provides immediate tripping during severe short circuits.
Does the BAB3050HS1 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, this unit provides standard thermal-magnetic overcurrent and short-circuit protection, along with the remote shunt trip capability. It does not include GFCI or AFCI circuitry.

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.
