20 A amperage rating provides precise protection for motor feeders and lighting circuits. This targeted protection reduces nuisance tripping on startup and protects both equipment and operators, improving overall line efficiency. In practical terms, it supports reliable protection in control panels and compact feeders where space is at a premium. With a 6 kAIC interrupt rating, the BAB3020HE rapidly clears high-energy faults and minimizes collateral damage to downstream devices. This translates into lower repair costs and shorter downtime after a fault event. The specification is especially valuable in distribution panels and machine bays where fault energy can be significant. Three-pole bolt-on mounting simplifies installation in standard enclosures and enhances mechanical stability in dynamic industrial environments. The bolt-on method saves wiring time and aligns with common panel dimensions, accelerating commissioning on new builds or refurbishments. Rated for 240/415V operations, the device supports diverse electrical systems used in international manufacturing facilities. Its non-interchangeable trip adds predictability across multi-breaker assemblies, preventing accidental substitutions that might void warranties or compromise protection. HACR rated with CSA Certified and UL Listed certifications underpins regulatory compliance and safety. This combination reduces qualification risk for HVAC and general-purpose circuits and ensures compatibility with widely adopted protection standards in industrial settings. Warranty of 1 year provides a baseline of support and reflects Eaton's confidence in long-term performance. Paired with reliable trip performance and robust construction, the BAB3020HE contributes to lower maintenance costs and extended service life for critical electrical infrastructure.

FAQs
The BAB3020HE utilizes bolt-on mounting and is a three-pole breaker. This combination is designed for robust 3-phase protection in industrial panels, offering straightforward installation, stable mechanical engagement, and compatibility with standard enclosure layouts. Suitable for new builds and retrofit projects where quick, reliable mounting is essential.
A 6 kAIC interrupt rating means the breaker can safely interrupt fault currents up to 6 kiloamps. This protects downstream devices and reduces the likelihood of collateral damage during high-energy faults. It is particularly relevant for industrial feeders and motor circuits where fault energy can be significant, improving overall system resilience.
Yes, the BAB3020HE is rated for 240/415V and designed for 3-phase electrical systems. It is suitable for panelboards, motor control centers, and other general-purpose equipment in manufacturing and industrial environments. Ensure the connected load aligns with the 20 A rating and that the enclosure supports a three-pole bolt-on breaker.
The BAB3020HE is CSA Certified and UL Listed, and HACR rated. These certifications confirm compliance with recognized safety and performance standards, reducing regulatory risk in audits and field installations. They also support safe operation for HVAC and general-purpose electrical panels, facilitating procurement and integration in mixed-load environments.
Maintenance is minimal beyond periodic torque checks and visual inspections for wear. With a 1-year warranty and proven trip performance, the device offers reliable uptime, lowers downtime risk, and reduces spare parts usage. This translates to a favorable total cost of ownership for facilities relying on stable electrical protection in critical processes.
