EE2B040 - 40A Circuit Breaker

EE2B040 - 40A Circuit Breaker

The EE2B040 is a 40 Amp, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker designed as a form, fit, and functional replacement for compatible electrical distribution equipment that uses Type EE2 circuit breakers. When maintaining or repairing existing electrical systems, selecting a breaker that matches the original electrical ratings and physical dimensions is essential to preserve compatibility and minimize changes to the installation. This breaker is built to last and is intended for use in applications where the original equipment calls for a 40 Amp, 2-pole breaker with a 10kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC. Calibrated for operation at 40°C (104°F), the EE2B040 provides dependable circuit protection against overloads and short circuits in compatible systems. As with any replacement breaker, verify that the part number, amperage, voltage, interrupting capacity, pole configuration, and dimensions match your equipment specifications before installation.
