FAQs
The BAB3070HI uses bolt-on mounting for secure attachment in 3-phase panels. Its three-pole design accommodates four wires, and the unit fits in compact 3 x 3 in footprints. When wiring, connect each phase to the corresponding terminal and ensure the shunt-trip wiring (120–240 V) is correctly routed if remote shutdowns are required. This reduces installation time and minimizes wiring errors in panel builds.
Key specs include a 70 A amperage rating, 240 V voltage rating, and a 10 kAIC interrupt capacity. It is a three-pole device designed for three-phase systems, with a shunt-trip option at 120–240 V. The device is HACR rated and UL Listed as well as CSA Certified, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial protection applications.
Yes. The BAB3070HI is HACR rated, which means it meets the heat-adjusted criteria for motors and HVAC equipment alongside general electrical loads. This makes it particularly well-suited for distribution panels in facilities with motor control and climate systems, ensuring safer operation and regulatory compliance in mixed-load environments.
The BAB3070HI carries UL Listed and CSA Certified certifications, confirming compliance with safety and performance standards. These certifications matter because they simplify regulatory approvals, support qualified procurement decisions, and reduce risk during inspections, commissioning, and maintenance in industrial facilities.
With a 1-year warranty and a robust thermal-magnetic design, the BAB3070HI provides dependable protection with predictable replacement cycles. Its compact bolt-on form reduces downtime during panel upgrades, and its high interrupt rating minimizes damage from faults. For ROI, the device supports longer mean times between failures and quicker serviceability in busy industrial environments.
