KAL26070 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

KAL26070 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

The KAL26070 is easy to narrow down when you know which details to check: 70 amps, two poles, Type KAL, and line and load lugs already included. This molded case circuit breaker uses thermal-magnetic protection and is rated for 60 Hz operation at 40°C. Having lugs on both the line and load sides is another useful compatibility detail when identifying the correct replacement. The KAL26070 is built to last, while the key to selecting it remains straightforward: confirm the Type KAL designation, amperage, pole count, electrical ratings, lug arrangement, and physical fit before installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• 70A current rating: Provides a clearly defined amperage for matching the breaker to compatible existing equipment.
• Two-pole configuration: Helps confirm the correct pole arrangement when selecting a replacement.
• Type KAL: An important identifier when matching form, fit, and function in existing or legacy electrical systems.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Uses the specified thermal-magnetic operating design.
• Line and load lugs included: Both connection sides are supplied with lugs, an important detail when checking installation compatibility.
• 60 Hz operation: Matches systems requiring the specified 60 Hz frequency.

Material Compliance and Certifications

No specific UL, CSA, IEC, RoHS, REACH, or other certification or material-compliance information was provided for the KAL26070. These approvals should not be assumed from the product type or electrical ratings. If a particular standard or certification is required for the installation, verify it for the exact KAL26070 part number.

Where It Works Best

The KAL26070 circuit breaker is suited to compatible existing and legacy electrical equipment that specifically requires a 70A, two-pole Type KAL molded case circuit breaker with thermal-magnetic protection. Its included line and load lugs are especially important to confirm when matching the connection arrangement of the breaker already in service.

For replacement work, compare the complete set of specifications rather than relying on amperage alone. Confirm the KAL type, 70A rating, two-pole configuration, A.I.C. ratings, 60 Hz frequency, 40°C rating, lug arrangement, and physical dimensions against the existing equipment. This helps establish the required form, fit, and functional compatibility without making assumptions about the installation.
