EC2020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

EC2020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

The EC2020 is a 20 Amp, 2-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Type EC electrical systems. When an existing breaker needs to be replaced, matching the original specifications is often the easiest way to maintain the panel's intended design and operation. That's where the EC2020 is commonly used—helping electricians and maintenance professionals keep existing equipment configured the way it was originally built.

Inside, the EC2020 uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, a widely used design that responds to both overload conditions and short circuits. It also features a non-interchangeable trip unit, helping ensure the breaker remains configured to its factory-assigned rating. Rated for operation in environments up to 40°C, this breaker includes load terminals and is intended for use in compatible equipment requiring a 20 Amp, 2-pole configuration.

With a 10kA interrupting rating, the EC2020 is designed to provide the protection expected in properly matched electrical systems. Whether you're maintaining an existing installation, replacing a damaged breaker, or verifying compatibility within a legacy panel, this breaker helps preserve the original form, fit, and function of the equipment. Built to last, it's a dependable choice for applications that require a correctly rated Type EC replacement breaker.
