Providing 90A of thermal-magnetic protection, the EJB24090 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker from Square D. It delivers consistent performance for commercial electrical systems. This device is engineered to install into Square D NF panelboards. The bolt-on mounting ensures a stable connection, while the included lugs accept 14-2/0 AWG copper conductors. Capable of interrupting 65 kAIC at 480Y/277VAC, it offers superior short-circuit defense and features a Visi-Trip indicator.
Which panelboards are compatible with the EJB24090 circuit breaker?
The EJB24090 is designed exclusively for use in Square D NF series lighting panelboards. It is not compatible with NQ or QO panelboards.
Can I use the EJB24090 to replace an EDB24090 or EGB24090?
Yes. The EJB24090 shares the exact same physical E-frame dimensions but offers a higher interrupting rating of 65kAIC at 480Y/277VAC. It serves as a direct, code-compliant upgrade for the 18kAIC EDB24090 or the 35kAIC EGB24090.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the EJB24090 load lugs?
The required torque depends on the wire gauge. Apply 34.5 lb-in for 14 to 10 AWG conductors, and 49.6 lb-in for 8 to 2/0 AWG conductors.
What does the J in the EJB24090 catalog number signify?
In Square D E-frame breakers, the second letter indicates the interrupting rating tier at 480Y/277VAC. The J designates a 65kAIC rating, which is the highest in this family compared to the D (18kAIC) and G (35kAIC) versions.
Is the EJB24090 suitable for reverse feeding applications?
Yes. Standard Square D E-frame breakers like the EJB24090 do not have Line and Load markings. This means they are UL listed for bidirectional current flow and can be safely reverse fed for use as backfed main breakers.
Does the EJB24090 require a separate mounting kit for installation?
No. As a bolt-on breaker, it mounts directly to the busbar of a Square D NF panelboard using its integrated hardware.
