Product FAQs

6 answers
Which panelboards accept the EH34020 circuit breaker?

This breaker is designed specifically for legacy Square D NEHB panelboards. It features a plug-on mounting design that connects directly to the panelboard bussing without requiring mounting screws.

What is the difference between the EH34020 and the EHB34020?

The EH34020 features a plug-on mounting connection, whereas the EHB34020 is the bolt-on equivalent. Both breakers are designed for legacy NEHB series panelboards and share the same internal electrical ratings and physical dimensions.

What wire size is recommended for the load lugs on the EH34020?

The factory lugs accommodate 14 to 8 AWG copper wire or 12 to 8 AWG aluminum wire. Always refer to the breaker label for the exact torque specifications before terminating the connections.

Is the Square D EH34020 still actively manufactured?

No, the EH breaker family and NEHB panelboards are obsolete legacy products no longer produced by Schneider Electric. They are sourced through specialized electrical distributors holding legacy inventory.

Can the 3-pole EH34020 breaker be used on a 240V system even though it is rated for 480Y/277V?

Yes. Because it is rated for up to 480Y/277V AC, it can safely be installed on lower voltage 240V distribution systems. When applied at 240V, the short-circuit interrupting capacity rating increases from 14kAIC to 65kAIC.

What does the LI trip function indicate on this breaker?

LI stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous. The Long-Time thermal function provides protection against sustained overcurrent overloads, while the Instantaneous magnetic function protects against sudden, massive short circuits. Both trip thresholds are fixed on this E-frame breaker.
