Product FAQs

8 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the Square D EDB34045SA circuit breaker?

The EDB34045SA is an E-Frame breaker designed specifically for use in Square D NF series panelboards. It features a bolt-on mounting connection and cannot be used in NQ or I-Line panels.

Can the EDB34045SA be used in Square D NQ panelboards?

No. E-Frame breakers like the EDB34045SA are designed exclusively for Square D NF panelboards, which support up to 480Y/277VAC. NQ panelboards are designed for QO and QOB series breakers and are limited to 240VAC maximum.

What does the SA suffix mean on the EDB34045SA catalog number?

The SA suffix indicates that the breaker includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by external control systems, such as fire alarms or emergency stop buttons.

How many pole spaces does the EDB34045SA require in a panelboard?

Although it is a 3-pole breaker, the EDB34045SA requires four total pole spaces for installation. The SA suffix indicates a factory-installed shunt trip, which occupies one additional pole space in the panel.

Can I field-install a shunt trip on a standard EDB34045 breaker instead of buying the EDB34045SA?

No, shunt trips for Square D E-Frame breakers are not field-installable. The EDB34045SA comes with the 120VAC shunt trip factory-installed and tested.

How is the shunt trip on the EDB34045SA wired?

The factory-installed shunt trip features its own set of control wire terminals. When a 120VAC control signal is applied to these terminals (from a fire alarm relay, emergency stop, or control system), the internal coil energizes and mechanically trips the breaker.

Does the EDB34045SA feature a visual trip indicator?

Yes, Square D E-Frame breakers like the EDB34045SA feature Visi-Trip technology. When the breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit, the handle snaps to a midpoint position and a highly visible red indicator appears, allowing for quick fault identification in the panel.

Are there higher interrupting capacity alternatives to the EDB34045SA?

Yes. If your application requires a higher fault current rating, you can use the EGB34045SA (rated 35kA at 480Y/277VAC) or the EJB34045SA (rated 65kA at 480Y/277VAC). Both share the same physical footprint and NF panelboard compatibility.
