EHB3070L - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

EHB3070L - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're maintaining an existing electrical system that uses Type EHB circuit breakers, the EHB3070L is designed to provide the correct form, fit, and function for your application. This 3-pole, 70 amp thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is rated 14kA at 480VAC and was engineered for use in electrical panels manufactured before 1989. Its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism responds to both overloads and short circuits, helping protect connected equipment and electrical distribution systems during normal operation.

Whether you're replacing a worn breaker during routine maintenance or returning an older panel to service, selecting a compatible replacement helps keep your electrical system operating as intended. The EHB3070L features a non-interchangeable trip unit, is 40°C-rated, and comes with both line and load terminals, helping to simplify installation where those connections are required.
