Built for commercial power distribution, the Square D EDB34020SA is a 20A, 3-pole miniature circuit breaker equipped with a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. This accessory enables remote tripping from external control systems, requiring four total pole spaces for installation. The breaker mounts into Square D NF panelboards via a robust bolt-on connection. Featuring an 18 kAIC rating at 480Y/277VAC, it utilizes fixed thermal-magnetic trip elements to safeguard lighting and HVAC circuits.
What panelboards are compatible with the Square D EDB34020SA breaker?
This bolt-on circuit breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D NF series lighting panelboards. It cannot be installed in NQ, I-Line, or QO load centers.
Does the SA suffix on the EDB34020SA mean it includes a shunt trip?
Yes, the SA suffix indicates that this breaker comes equipped with a factory-installed 120V AC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely for safety or control purposes.
How much panel space does the EDB34020SA require with the built-in shunt trip?
Because factory-installed accessories like the shunt trip add an additional pole space to the breaker frame, this 3-pole breaker will require 4 pole spaces to mount in your NF panelboard.
Can I field-install a shunt trip or auxiliary switch on a standard EDB34020 breaker later?
No. Electrical accessories for Square D E-frame breakers, including shunt trips and auxiliary switches, are factory-installed only and cannot be added in the field.
Is the EDB34020SA rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment?
Yes. Like all E-frame circuit breakers, the EDB34020SA is UL Listed as HACR type. It is also rated for HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lighting applications.
What are the magnetic trip and hold current settings for this 20A breaker?
The instantaneous magnetic trip on this 20A E-frame breaker has a fixed hold current of 270 Amps and a trip current of 875 Amps.
Are there higher interrupting capacity versions of this breaker available?
Yes. While the EDB34020SA provides an 18 kA interrupting rating at 480Y/277VAC, you can upgrade to the EGB (35 kA) or EJB (65 kA) frame versions if your electrical system requires a higher fault current rating.
What does the Visi-Trip indicator do on this breaker?
Square D E-frame breakers feature a Visi-Trip visual indicator, which shows a highly visible red flag when the breaker has tripped due to an overload or short circuit. This allows maintenance personnel to quickly identify the tripped breaker in a crowded NF panelboard.
