Square D EGB24045 Miniature Circuit Breaker

This E-frame breaker is designed specifically for Square D NF panelboards. It features a bolt-on connection that secures directly to the NF buswork and will not fit NQ, I-Line, or QO load centers.

Yes. The EGB24045 shares the exact physical dimensions and mounting footprint as the EDB24045 and EJB24045. The G in the catalog number indicates a 35kA interrupting rating at 480Y/277VAC, which serves as a direct upgrade to the 18kA-rated EDB series, but is lower than the 65kA-rated EJB series.

In Square D E-frame breakers, the second letter designates the interrupting rating tier at 480Y/277VAC. The G indicates a 35kA rating, placing it between the standard D tier at 18kA and the high-interrupting J tier at 65kA.

Yes. This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. 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 electricians to quickly identify the faulted circuit in a crowded panel.

Yes. The included mechanical lugs are AL-CU rated. They accept copper conductors from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG and aluminum conductors from 12 AWG to 2/0 AWG.

The breaker provides a 35kA interrupting rating when applied at its maximum 480Y/277VAC rating. However, when installed on 120VAC or 240VAC systems, the interrupting capacity increases to 65kA.

No. The EGB24045 is a bolt-on breaker that mounts directly to the buswork of a Square D NF panelboard. No additional mounting hardware or terminal pad kits are required for standard installation.

Yes. This breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires circuit protection.
