Handling the demands of commercial lighting, the Square D EHB14020HID is a 20A, 1-pole molded case circuit breaker. It is specifically HID-rated to safely manage the high inrush currents associated with high intensity discharge fixtures. This bolt-on unit is engineered for legacy Square D NEHB panelboards. It provides an exact replacement solution for aging systems, avoiding the need to retrofit to the newer NF panelboard standard.
What does the HID suffix indicate on the EHB14020HID breaker?
The HID designation means the breaker is rated for High Intensity Discharge lighting. It is engineered to withstand the high inrush currents generated by HID fixtures, such as metal halide and high-pressure sodium lamps, preventing nuisance tripping during startup.
Which panelboards accept the EHB14020HID circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for legacy Square D NEHB panelboards. It will not fit in newer NF series panelboards.
Can I substitute a modern EDB breaker for this EHB model?
No. EDB breakers are designed for newer Square D NF panelboards and have a different mounting configuration. You must use an EHB series breaker to properly fit the busbars in an NEHB panelboard.
How does the breaker indicate a tripped condition?
The EHB14020HID features a visual trip indicator. When a fault is detected, the operating handle snaps to a center position halfway between ON and OFF, making it easy to identify the tripped circuit inside the panelboard.
Is this breaker rated for switching duty applications?
Yes, it carries an SWD rating for switching duty, meaning it is approved to be used as a regular switch for controlling fluorescent lighting circuits, in addition to its HID rating.
Can this breaker be used for HVAC equipment?
Yes, the EHB14020HID is HACR rated, making it suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 20A, 1-pole circuit.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The thermal-magnetic LI trip unit provides Long-Time protection against sustained overloads and Instantaneous protection against short circuits, ensuring comprehensive safety for the connected circuit.

Fast reliable service, reasonable prices
I recently ordered the incorrect breakers for a job, but I contacted Drew at SuperBreakers and he got me the correct breakers shipped out that day, which I received the next day. He sent me a label to send the wrong breakers back, and I was quickly refunded a restocking fee that I incurred for my mistake. I was able to get the breakers installed, and the power running to meet the deadline. Not to mention, the price was better than I found elsewhere. Thanks Drew!
I would definitely recommend this company if you need fast, reliable service for your electrical product needs. And I'm sure I will use them again.
Thank you SuperBreakers! Nice job Drew!
