Product FAQs
6 answers
What is the difference between the EDB34040, EGB34040, and EJB34040 circuit breakers?
These breakers share the same physical footprint and are all used in Square D NF panelboards, but they have different interrupting capacities at 480Y/277VAC. The EDB34040 is rated for 18 kAIC, the EGB34040 for 35 kAIC, and the EJB34040 offers the highest protection in this frame class at 65 kAIC.
Can the EJB34040 be installed in 480V ungrounded or corner-grounded delta systems?
No. Because the EJB34040 carries a 480Y/277VAC slash voltage rating, NEC requirements restrict it to solidly grounded wye systems where the voltage to ground does not exceed 277V. However, it is UL Listed for use on 240V corner-grounded delta systems.
What are the terminal torque specifications for the EJB34040?
The standard aluminum lugs on this breaker require a tightening torque of 34.5 lb-in for 14 to 10 AWG wire, and 49.6 lb-in for 8 to 2/0 AWG wire.
Does the EJB34040 include a tripped state indicator?
Yes, this E-frame breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. If the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit event, the handle rests in a center position and a bright red indicator appears, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly identify the faulted circuit.
Which panelboards are compatible with the EJB34040 circuit breaker?
The EJB34040 is specifically designed for bolt-on installation in Square D NF series panelboards. It is not compatible with NQ panelboards or I-Line panelboards.
Is the EJB34040 suitable for HVAC and lighting applications?
Yes, the EJB34040 is UL Listed as HACR type, making it approved for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration motor loads. It is also UL Listed as HID (High-Intensity Discharge), allowing it to switch high-inrush commercial lighting circuits.
