Product FAQs
9 answers
What does the "SA" suffix mean on the EGB34020SA?
The "SA" suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely for emergency disconnects, fire alarm integration, or control systems.
Which panelboards are compatible with the EGB34020SA?
This E-frame breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D NF series panelboards. It features a bolt-on connection that mounts directly to the NF panel bus.
Can I field-install a shunt trip on a standard EGB34020 breaker instead of buying the EGB34020SA?
No. Square D E-frame electrical accessories, including the shunt trip, are factory-installed only. You must purchase the breaker with the "SA" suffix if your application requires a shunt trip.
How much panel space does the EGB34020SA require?
While a standard 3-pole E-frame breaker occupies three pole spaces, the factory-installed shunt trip requires an additional pole space. Therefore, the EGB34020SA will take up four pole spaces in your NF panelboard.
Can the EGB34020SA be used on a 480V Delta system?
No. This breaker is slash-rated for 480Y/277VAC, meaning it is approved for solid-grounded wye systems only. It is not rated for use on ungrounded or corner-grounded 480V Delta systems.
What is the difference between the EDB34020SA and the EGB34020SA?
Both are 20A, 3-pole E-frame breakers with a 120VAC shunt trip for NF panelboards. The difference is the interrupting rating. The EDB series is standard-rated at 18kA at 480Y/277V, while the EGB series is high-interrupting, rated at 35kA at 480Y/277V.
Can I use the EGB34020SA for high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting?
Yes. This 20A E-frame breaker is UL Listed as HID (High-Intensity Discharge) rated, making it suitable for switching HID lighting loads. It is also HACR rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Does the EGB34020SA have a Visi-Trip indicator?
Yes. Like all Square D E-frame breakers, it features a Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, the handle snaps to a midpoint position and a highly visible red indicator appears, making it easy to identify the tripped breaker in a crowded panel.
What are the magnetic hold and trip currents for this 20A breaker?
The instantaneous magnetic trip on the EGB34020SA has a hold current of 270A, which is the maximum current it will carry without tripping. The trip current is 875A, which is the current at which it is guaranteed to trip instantaneously.
