Description

Built for commercial applications, the Square D EHB24020 is a 2-pole, 20A molded case circuit breaker from the legacy E-Frame series. It features thermal-magnetic trip technology for dependable overload protection. This bolt-on breaker mounts into older Square D NEHB panelboards. For modern upgrades, this unit is replaced by the EDB24020, which requires an NF series panelboard. Rated 14kAIC at 480Y/277V, it includes a Visi-Trip indicator for quick identification of tripped circuits.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the Square D EHB24020?

This breaker is designed specifically for legacy Square D NEHB panelboards. It uses a bolt-on connection to mount securely into these lighting and appliance branch-circuit panels.

Can I use an EDB breaker to replace the EHB24020 in my NEHB panel?

No. EDB circuit breakers are designed for newer NF series panelboards and will not fit in obsolete NEHB panelboards. You must use a direct EHB replacement breaker like the EHB24020 to fit the existing bus structure and mounting hardware.

What are the wire size requirements for the EHB24020?

The load side lugs on this breaker accept 14 to 8 AWG copper (Cu) wire or 12 to 8 AWG aluminum (Al) wire.

Is the EHB24020 rated for 277V lighting circuits?

Yes, this breaker has a maximum voltage rating of 480Y/277VAC, making it suitable for 277V commercial lighting applications as well as standard 120/240VAC distribution. At 277VAC, it provides an interrupting rating of 14kAIC.

What type of trip unit does the EHB24020 use?

It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) functions. The thermal mechanism responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic function trips instantly during a short circuit.

Is the Square D EHB series still being manufactured?

No, the EHB series and the corresponding NEHB panelboards have been discontinued by Square D (Schneider Electric). Because they are obsolete, maintaining your existing panel requires sourcing an exact EHB replacement breaker.

    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!
