Bolt-on mounting simplifies retrofit and panel-space installation, improving wiring density and reducing labor time while delivering secure attachment and consistent protection. The result is faster panel upgrades and fewer field failures during commissioning, with reliable performance in crowded industrial enclosures. The three-pole design supports balanced protection for three-phase circuits, enabling dependable control of motors and feeders in manufacturing lines and packaging equipment, while maintaining alignment with 120/240 V systems common in plant floors. With a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, the BAB3020C handles fault currents typical of medium-duty industrial environments, reducing arc exposure and protecting downstream devices. Its non-interchangeable trip characteristics prevent mismatched protections during maintenance, promoting system integrity and simplifying spares management. Ring or spade lug terminals offer flexible wiring options, easing installation in legacy panels and new builds alike. Built-in HACR rating and UL Listed CSA Certified approvals streamline compliance, improving project approvals and reducing risk during audits. A 1-year warranty adds business value by providing manufacturer support during initial deployment and early operation.
