E43B045 - 45Amp Circuit Breaker Description

E43B045 - 45 Amp Circuit Breaker

The E43B045 molded case circuit breaker is a 45-amp, 3-pole breaker designed for use in electrical distribution systems that require dependable overcurrent protection and compatibility with existing equipment built around the E43 frame type. Rated for 18kA interrupting capacity at 480VAC and 25kA at 240VAC, this breaker helps protect conductors and connected equipment from overloads and short circuits in commercial and industrial installations. The bolt-on mounting configuration allows for secure installation in compatible panelboards and switchboards, while the included load-side terminals simplify conductor connections during replacement or maintenance work. Built to handle standard operating conditions up to 40°C, the E43B045 is also HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits where these ratings are required. With a durable molded case construction and a form-fit design aligned with E43 frame systems, this breaker provides a straightforward functional replacement for maintaining legacy electrical infrastructure.
