E42B020L - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

E42B020L - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

The E42B020L molded case circuit breaker is designed to provide dependable circuit protection for electrical distribution systems requiring a 20-amp, 2-pole breaker within the E42 frame platform. Built for form, fit, and functional compatibility with equipment designed for the E42 series, this breaker helps protect conductors and connected equipment from overloads and short circuits. It carries an interrupting capacity of 18kA at 480VAC and 25kA at 240VAC, making it suitable for a range of commercial and industrial electrical panels where these ratings are required. Rated for operation at 40°C and HACR applications, the E42B020L supports HVAC-related loads and other systems that demand reliable overcurrent protection. Line- and load-side terminals are included, allowing straightforward installation in compatible panels and switchboards. Molded case breakers like the E42B020L are known for their durable construction and are built to last in demanding electrical environments where dependable circuit interruption is essential.
