Product FAQs
5 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the EH24030 circuit breaker?
The EH24030 is designed specifically for legacy Square D NEHB panelboards. It features a plug-on mounting design that connects directly to the panel busbar.
What is the difference between Square D EH and EHB circuit breakers?
Both series are designed for legacy NEHB panelboards and offer identical electrical protection. The difference lies in the mounting style. EH breakers, such as the EH24030, use a plug-on connection, while EHB breakers use a bolt-on connection.
Can I install a modern Square D EDB breaker in place of the EH24030?
No. While EDB breakers are the modern 480Y/277V replacement series, they are built exclusively for newer NF series panelboards. They will not physically fit or mount into legacy NEHB panelboards, which require EH or EHB series breakers.
What does the LI trip function indicate on the EH24030?
The LI designation means the breaker is equipped with a thermal-magnetic trip unit providing Long-Time (thermal) overload protection and Instantaneous (magnetic) short-circuit protection. Both of these trip thresholds are fixed and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Is the Square D EH series still actively manufactured?
No. The EH breaker series and the corresponding NEHB panelboards are legacy products that have been discontinued by Schneider Electric. Replacing a breaker in an existing NEHB panel requires sourcing these specific legacy components.
