Description

Designed for heavy-duty power distribution, this 40A Series G breaker utilizes a high-speed blow-open action to limit fault currents effectively. The 2-pole EGE2040FFG is equipped with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit for precise LI protection. It fits standard Pow-R-Line panels, switchboards, and MCCs requiring an EG-Frame footprint. Capable of interrupting 35kA at 240VAC and 25kA at 480VAC, this unit is being replaced by the newer Power Defense PDG12F0040TFFJ model.
