Eaton Cutler-Hammer BAB2020 Circuit Breaker
The Eaton Cutler-Hammer BAB2020 is a heavy-duty 2-pole bolt-on circuit breaker engineered for industrial and commercial power distribution applications. Operating at 20 Amps and 120/240Vac, this Type BA Quicklag breaker provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits. It features a robust 10,000 AIC (Ampere Interrupting Capacity) rating, making it a standard choice for Pow-R-Line chassis installations and load centers. Designed for secure mounting, the bolt-on design ensures a low-resistance connection that prevents arcing and overheating compared to standard plug-in models. This industrial-grade breaker is compatible with panelboards requiring high-density configurations and is frequently specified for HVACR control circuits where consistent uptime is critical. Contractors rely on the BAB series for its long-term mechanical durability and precise trip curve performance in demanding environments.
Key Benefits
- Bolt-on terminal design ensures a secure, vibration-resistant connection for industrial Pow-R-Line panels.
- 10 kAIC Interrupting Rating provides essential protection for medium-fault current applications.
- Thermal-magnetic trip mechanism offers calibrated protection for balanced electrical loads.
- Common trip bar ensures that if one pole trips, both open simultaneously to prevent single-phasing downstream equipment.
- Compact 2-inch frame allows for efficient space management within high-density distribution enclosures.
Common Questions
Is the BAB2020 interchangeable with standard residential breakers?
No, the BAB2020 is a bolt-on breaker specifically designed for Eaton bolt-on load centers and panelboards. It cannot be used in residential plug-on or "stab-in" style panels.
What is the maximum wire size for this 20 Amp breaker?
The load-side terminals on this Eaton Quicklag breaker typically accommodate #14 to #8 AWG copper or aluminum wire, though copper is recommended for the most reliable connection in HVACR applications.
Can this breaker be used in 240V single-phase systems?
Yes, this 2-pole 20A breaker is rated for 120/240Vac, making it suitable for 240V circuits commonly found in commercial blower motors and condensing units.
