Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the Square D EJB14045?
The EJB14045 is a bolt-on E-Frame breaker designed exclusively for use in Square D NF series panelboards.
Can I use the EJB14045 to replace an EDB14045 or EGB14045?
Yes. The EJB14045 shares the same physical dimensions and mounting as EDB and EGB breakers but offers a higher interrupting rating. It is a direct, upgraded replacement for lower-rated E-Frame breakers in NF panelboards.
What does the J in the EJB14045 part number signify?
The J designates the interrupting rating tier. In the Square D E-Frame lineup, EDB is standard, EGB is high-interrupting, and EJB is the highest tier, providing 65kAIC at 277VAC.
What wire sizes and torque specifications apply to the EJB14045 lugs?
The lugs accept 14 to 2/0 AWG copper or 12 to 2/0 AWG aluminum wire. The recommended tightening torque is 34.5 lb-in for 14 to 10 AWG wire and 49.6 lb-in for 8 to 2/0 AWG wire.
How is the EJB14045 secured inside the panelboard?
The EJB14045 is a bolt-on circuit breaker. It secures directly to the bus of a Square D NF panelboard using mounting screws, providing a robust connection for commercial and industrial applications.
What type of protection does the EJB14045 trip unit provide?
It features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit with long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. This provides standard protection against both sustained overloads and sudden short circuits.
