EHB2070L - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

EHB2070L - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you’re working with older electrical panels, finding the right breaker isn’t just about specs—it’s about getting something that fits and functions exactly the way it should. The EHB2070L circuit breaker is built for that purpose. Designed for panelboards manufactured before 1989, this 2-pole, 70-amp breaker delivers dependable protection using a thermal-magnetic system that reacts to both overloads and short circuits. That means your equipment stays protected without guesswork. With a 14k A.I.C. rating at 480VAC, this breaker is well-suited for many commercial and industrial applications still relying on legacy infrastructure. The fixed trip unit keeps operation consistent over time, while the included line and load terminals help make installation more straightforward. If you're maintaining an existing system and need a breaker that matches the original setup, the EHB2070L checks the boxes for form, fit, and function—without unnecessary complications.
