Mounts into classic Westinghouse panelboards to provide immediate restoration of commercial electrical service. The E2020 is a 20-amp, two-pole legacy molded case circuit breaker that maintains the original specifications of older installations. Featuring a robust bolt-on design, it integrates perfectly with Eaton Pow-R-Line and AB De-Ion panels without requiring modifications. For future upgrades, it is replaced by the EHD2020. It offers a standard interrupting capacity of 7 kAIC at 240VAC.
Which panelboards accept the E2020 circuit breaker?
The E2020 is designed to bolt into legacy Westinghouse panelboards, Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, and AB De-Ion panels.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy E2020 breaker?
For future upgrades or replacements, the Eaton EHD2020 is the recommended alternative. The EHD2020 offers a higher interrupting capacity of 18kAIC at 240VAC.
Is the E2020 rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications. It carries a 5kA interrupting capacity at 125/250VDC, making it suitable for specific non-inductive DC circuits.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the E2020 terminals?
The factory lugs accept 14 AWG through 1/0 AWG conductors. Both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) wires are supported. Always verify the specific torque requirements printed on the breaker label before terminating.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit function on the E2020?
The breaker uses a fixed thermal-magnetic (LI) trip unit. The thermal component provides long-time delay protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component provides instantaneous tripping during short-circuit faults.
Can the E2020 be installed in 480V or 600V systems?
No, the E2020 is strictly rated for a maximum of 240VAC or 125/250VDC. It does not have the internal clearances or interrupting capacity for 480V or 600V applications.
