Special features
Bolt-on mounting
Bolt-on mounting simplifies field installation and reduces labor time during panel upgrades. The BAB3020E's bolt-on design aligns with standard enclosures, enabling quick retrofits without requiring special hardware or rewiring. In industrial settings where downtime matters, fast, secure mounting translates to lower installation costs and faster time-to-protect critical loads. With a three-pole configuration and a 20 A rating, this breaker provides reliable protection for multi-phase circuits at 240/415 V. The compact 3 in by 3 in footprint fits tight panel spaces and aligns with common DIN rail and bolt-on panel configurations, supporting modular protection across motor drives and control circuits while keeping wiring neat. Quicklag thermal-magnetic operation delivers precise overcurrent and short-circuit protection with a single device, and the trip type is non-interchangeable to ensure consistent protection performance across assemblies. This helps avoid accidental replacement mismatches during maintenance and simplifies documentation. The 3 kAIC interrupt rating protects against high-energy faults, reducing equipment damage and downtime in demanding industrial environments. HACR rating supports motor control applications, aligning with NEC guidelines for heat-producing equipment. CSA Certified and UL Listed certifications provide confidence for code compliance and supplier qualification.
