Part of the trusted legacy E-frame series, the Eaton E2090 is a 2-pole, 90A molded case circuit breaker designed for commercial environments. It delivers standard interrupting capacity to safeguard critical equipment from electrical faults without requiring a complete system overhaul. This bolt-on breaker is fully compatible with classic Westinghouse and Eaton panelboards.
Which panelboards are compatible with the E2090 circuit breaker?
The E2090 is a legacy bolt-on breaker designed specifically for commercial Westinghouse and Eaton panelboards that accept E-frame breakers. It is not compatible with standard residential plug-on load centers.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy Westinghouse E2090?
The Eaton EHD2090 is the designated modern cross-reference to replace the legacy Westinghouse E2090. It bolts into the same panelboard spaces while offering updated performance.
Can the E2090 be used in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, the E2090 is rated for use in 125/250VDC applications, where it provides a 5 kAIC interrupting capacity, in addition to its standard 240VAC rating.
What wire sizes are supported by the E2090 terminals?
The breaker is equipped with standard lugs that accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG. The terminals are dual-rated for safe use with both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.
What type of trip protection does the E2090 provide?
It features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit. This provides fixed long-time (thermal) protection against overloads and fixed instantaneous (magnetic) protection against short circuits.
Does the E2090 plug into the bus bar?
No, the E2090 features a bolt-on connection type. It must be securely bolted directly to the panelboard bus, which is typical for commercial-grade E-frame breakers.
