EHD1020L - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

EHD1020L - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a circuit breaker in an existing electrical system, compatibility matters just as much as the electrical ratings. The Eaton EHD1020L is a 20 Amp, single-pole thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker designed to provide the correct form, fit, and function for compatible Eaton EHD Series equipment. It helps protect branch circuits against overloads and short circuits while maintaining the specifications required for legacy electrical distribution systems.

The EHD1020L features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit, a 14kA interrupting capacity at 277 VAC, and is rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 40°C. This breaker also includes both line and load terminals, making it suitable for installation in compatible panels and switchgear.
