FAQs
BAB3020HS1 uses a bolt-on mounting method and a three-pole configuration, with footprints of 5 in length, 3 in width, and 1 in height. It weighs 0.5 lb and is designed to mount into standard electrical panels, simplifying alignment of conductors and reducing torque variance during installation. This minimizes assembly time and wiring mistakes in dense panel layouts.
The device is rated for 20 A at 240 V with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, providing robust protection against overloads and short circuits. Its non-interchangeable trip type ensures consistent protective behavior, while the 24/48 V DC shunt trip enables remote protection coordination. These specs align with typical motor loads and control circuits in industrial environments.
Yes. The BAB3020HS1 includes a 24/48 V DC shunt trip feature, enabling remote tripping and integration with safety interlock systems. This capability is particularly beneficial for automated line isolation, machine safety interlocks, and coordinated shutdowns in complex control architectures.
The device is UL Listed and CSA Certified, and it carries HACR rating notes. These certifications demonstrate compliance with recognized safety standards, facilitate regulatory approvals for commercial and industrial installations, and support safer operation in environments requiring strict electrical protection and control.
With a 1-year warranty and solid, field-proven thermal-magnetic technology, maintenance intervals are predictable. The unit’s reliability reduces nuisance trips and downtime, lowering total cost of ownership. Its compact footprint and bolt-on mounting also simplify future panel expansions, contributing to faster ROI through reduced labor and maintenance costs.
