Special features
Bolt-on mounting
Bolt-on mounting simplifies field installation and aligns with standard panel chassis, ensuring solid mechanical fit. Labor time is reduced and misalignment risk diminishes, delivering faster turnarounds on upgrades and new builds. Application: Ideal for control panels and equipment racks in automated manufacturing lines where quick, dependable mounting matters. Two-pole design with ring or spade lug terminals streamlines wiring and improves current path integrity. Fewer wiring errors, better heat dissipation, and easier future maintenance. Application: Machine centers, conveyor systems, and process-control cabinets requiring durable, serviceable connections. The 45 A amperage rating and 240 V operation with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating provide robust overcurrent protection. Short-circuit events are cleared rapidly, protecting downstream devices and reducing unplanned downtime. Application: Industrial automation panels and power distribution blocks in manufacturing environments. Quicklag industrial mechanism delivers reliable tripping with stable characteristics across loads. Core benefits include consistent protection curves and predictable device coordination. Application: High-energy machinery, robotics cells, and processing lines where dependable fault clearing matters. UL Listed and CSA Certified with HACR rating confirm regulatory compliance and energy-efficiency compatibility. Application: Commercial and industrial facilities seeking certified protective devices within code-compliant panels. Non-interchangeable trip type ensures correct device matching within the same family. Application: OEM build standards and preventative maintenance programs in manufacturing plants.

FAQs
Yes. The BAB2045H is designed for bolt-on mounting and comes as a two-pole device with ring or spade lug terminals. It fits standard panel layouts and enclosure openings, facilitating quick installation in new builds or retrofits. Ensure tight torque on terminals and proper spacing to maintain safe clearances and heat dissipation in 240 V circuits.
The BAB2045H provides 45 A continuous amperage rating, 240 V operation, and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, with a non-interchangeable trip. This combination supports reliable protection for typical control circuits and equipment, offering rapid fault clearing in short-circuit events and improving system uptime for 24/7 manufacturing environments.
BAB2045H carries UL Listed and CSA Certified markings with HACR rating. These certifications confirm adherence to recognized safety and energy standards, aiding code compliance in commercial and industrial panels. They simplify regulatory audits, support energy-management initiatives, and help ensure procurement meets common institutional requirements.
The 10 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the device can safely interrupt high fault currents without damage, protecting conductors and downstream equipment. In industrial applications with large motor loads and potential short circuits, this rating reduces the risk of arcing, minimizes downtime, and supports compliant protection coordination within panel assemblies.
The BAB2045H offers predictable protection with a durable thermal-magnetic mechanism, reducing nuisance trips and maintenance cycles. Its bolt-on mounting and two-pole design streamline servicing, while UL CSA HACR certifications ease procurement and audits. Over time, reliable fault clearing minimizes unplanned downtime and extends panel life, delivering favorable total cost of ownership.
