EB2070 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

EB2070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

The EB2070 circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 70-amp thermal-magnetic breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in electrical distribution systems built with EB frame panelboards manufactured before 1989. Engineered for consistent operation in legacy electrical installations, this breaker combines thermal protection for overload conditions with magnetic protection for short circuits. Its 10kA interrupting capacity at 120/240VAC supports safe fault interruption in residential and light commercial applications where EB-frame equipment is installed. The unit features a non-interchangeable trip unit and includes load terminals for straightforward installation and secure conductor termination. Rated for operation at 40°C, the EB2070 is built to last and designed to provide the proper form, fit, and function required to maintain existing electrical systems.
