Eaton Specification Sheet - BAB2070I
The BAB2070I uses a thermal magnetic trip with Quicklag to deliver fast, selective overcurrent protection for motor, lighting, and general-purpose circuits in 120/240 V distribution panels. This protective behavior translates to fewer nuisance trips, reduced wear on equipment, and higher overall uptime. It is ideally suited for industrial panels in manufacturing, processing, and packaging lines. The unit provides a clear business case: improved line reliability and lower maintenance costs become achievable through precise protection at the breaker level. The 70 A rating paired with a 10 kAIC interrupt capacity ensures reliable fault clearing for typical industrial loads, while the two-pole, 120/240 V configuration supports straightforward installation in standard panels without complicated wiring schemes. Its non-interchangeable design ensures proper circuit protection coordination in mixed-protection environments. Remote shutdown via shunt-trip (120–240 V) enables safety interlocks and emergency stopping, enhancing site safety without sacrificing operational efficiency. Certifications and compliance are built in, with UL Listed and CSA Certified status plus HACR rating for HVAC-related circuits, facilitating faster approvals in North American projects. The compact form factor (2 in wide, 3 in high, 2.563 in deep) and modest weight of 0.65 lb help minimize panel footprint and enclosure costs, while the 1-year warranty provides business continuity support across the equipment lifecycle.

FAQs
Install the BAB2070I in compatible 240 V distribution panels using a two-pole mount designed for BAB breakers. Verify the panel supports 120/240 V, four-wire configurations, and that the breaker is non-interchangeable with other series. If you need remote shutdown, utilize the 120-240 V shunt-trip option and follow NEC wiring practices and lockout/tagout requirements.
The BAB2070I is a 70 A thermal magnetic circuit breaker with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, two-pole, single-phase operation, and a 120/240 V rating. It includes shunt-trip capability (120-240 V), HACR rating, UL Listed and CSA Certified status, with a compact 2.563 in depth, 3 in height, and 2 in width. Used in distribution panels 240 V.
The BAB2070I is a two-pole, single-phase device intended for 240 V distribution panels. It can be used within 3-phase, four-wire systems where 240 V distribution is present, but ensure proper coordination with other protective devices and confirm panel design compatibility. Do not interchange with other series that are not specified for this configuration.
BAB2070I carries UL Listed and CSA Certified marks and is HACR rated for HVAC-related circuits. These certifications support code-compliant installations in North American facilities and streamline commissioning during audits and inspections.
The breaker fits a compact footprint: 2 in wide, 3 in high, 2.563 in depth, and weighs about 0.65 lb. It is non-interchangeable with other series and is designed for distribution panels up to 240 V with three conductors. Plan for dedicated space in the panel and ensure wiring conforms to local electrical codes.
