Feature → Business Impact → Application: The BAB3020HV uses Quicklag industrial thermal-magnetic technology to deliver fast, predictable trip characteristics, reducing downtime and equipment damage in fault conditions. This leads to measurable improvements in machine availability and reduced maintenance costs for production lines, robotics cells, and material handling systems. The 20 A rating with a 10 kAIC interrupt capability supports safe isolation of moderate-load motor circuits used in conveyors and pump setups, while 120/240 V operation covers a wide range of panel infrastructures. The three-pole, bolt-on design simplifies installation in new or retrofit panels, enabling faster commissioning and safer neutrals switching in complex electrical architectures. Compatibility with CSA and UL standards ensures procurement teams meet supplier requirements and shorten compliance review cycles.

FAQs
For bolt-on panels, ensure a flat mounting surface and adequate clearance for the 3.8 in depth, 3.2 in width, and 4.9 in height. Use the bolt-on mounting method to secure the device and provide solid conductor termination space. Verify neutral switching capability is accommodated by the panel design, and confirm the 20 A rating aligns with the connected motor or control circuit to prevent nuisance trips.
Yes. The 20 A, 10 kAIC interrupt rating, HACR rating, and 120/240 V operation make it well suited for motor control panels and HVAC control circuits. Its Quicklag technology offers reliable protection against short circuits while handling motor inrush when starting, helping to minimize unnecessary trips and equipment wear.
The BAB3020HV is CSA Certified and UL Listed, with HACR rating for motor loads. These certifications support regulatory compliance in industrial environments, facilitate supplier qualification, and help ensure safe operation within standard control panels and equipment enclosures.
Investing in the BAB3020HV can reduce downtime due to improved fault discrimination and quicker outage recovery. The robust interrupt rating, reliable thermal-magnetic protection, and bolt-on installation shorten commissioning time, while the 1-year warranty and UL/CSA certifications lower risk and maintenance costs, delivering faster ROI in production-critical applications.
