EHC2070 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

EHC2070 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a compatible replacement for an existing Type EHC circuit breaker, the EHC2070 is designed to provide the form, fit, and function your electrical system was originally built to use. This 2-pole, 70 amp thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is intended for use in compatible legacy electrical distribution equipment, helping protect circuits from overloads and short circuits while maintaining the original configuration of your panel.

Featuring a non-interchangeable trip unit, the EHC2070 retains its factory-set trip characteristics for applications requiring matching specifications. Rated for operation in 40°C ambient environments, it offers an interrupting capacity of 14kA at 480VAC and 18kA at 240VAC, making it suitable for a variety of commercial and industrial electrical systems designed around these ratings.
