EHB2040L - 40Amp Circuit Breaker

EHB2040L - 40Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're maintaining an existing electrical system, finding the correct replacement breaker matters. The EHB2040L is a 2-pole, 40 Amp Type EHB thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed for use in compatible electrical panels manufactured before 1989. It serves as a form-, fit-, and function-replacement, making it a practical solution when you need to match the original equipment without changing the panel's configuration.

Whether you're replacing a breaker during scheduled maintenance, repairing equipment after a fault, or keeping an older facility operating, the EHB2040L helps maintain the original design of your electrical system. Built to last, it's a dependable choice for facilities that continue to rely on compatible legacy electrical equipment.
