Eaton EHD2070 Molded Case Circuit Breaker 70A 2P

Product Description

The EATON EHD2070 is a molded case thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed for overcurrent protection in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems. It uses a combination of thermal and magnetic trip mechanisms to protect circuits from both sustained overloads and short-circuit faults. The EHD2070 is a 2-pole, 70-amp device housed in a compact molded case enclosure. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of breaker in panelboards, switchboards, and load centers where reliable branch circuit or feeder protection is required.

The EHD2070 is suited for commercial, industrial, and light industrial applications where 70-amp, 2-pole overcurrent protection is needed. Its molded case construction makes it appropriate for use in flush-mount or surface-mount panelboards. The compact footprint allows installation in tight panel configurations without sacrificing protection performance. This breaker is a common choice for HVAC equipment feeders, motor branch circuits, and general-purpose distribution panels.

Key Features

• Thermal magnetic trip mechanism provides protection against both overload and short-circuit conditions
• 2-pole configuration for 240-volt single-phase or multi-phase branch circuit applications
• 70-amp continuous current rating
• Molded case construction for durability in panelboard and switchboard installations
• Compact dimensions support installation in space-constrained enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation molded case circuit breaker for commercial and industrial panelboards and switchboards requiring a 2-pole, 70-amp thermal magnetic breaker of the EHD frame class.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before handling or replacing any circuit breaker. Confirm that the breaker frame and interrupt rating are appropriate for the available fault current at the installation point. Do not exceed the breaker's continuous current rating when sizing circuit conductors and loads.
