2C40UL | Circuit Breaker | 40A | 2-Pole | 240V

Designed for professional maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects, the 2C40UL is a rugged industrial circuit breaker that pairs reliability with precise specs. This 40-amp, two-pole unit is built for 240V circuits and is identified by its part number 2C40UL, making compatibility checks straightforward for technicians and procurement teams alike.

Key specifications and what they mean

• Amperage: 40A protection ideal for mid-load equipment and branch circuits in commercial or light industrial settings.
• Poles: 2-Pole configuration automatically interrupts both live conductors on a 240V circuit for safer shutdown.
• Voltage rating: 240V AC applications, suitable for standard 240V feeders and equipment connections.
• Identification: Part number 2C40UL; UL-listed designation supports compliance in many industrial panels.

Important compatibility notes

• Always confirm fit and ratings before ordering. The 2C40UL model is designed to match specific panels and bus configurations; the part number is the best reference for compatibility.
• Use this breaker for equipment that requires a 40A, 2-pole, 240V protective device — ideal for motors, HVAC controls, or other 240V loads in commercial settings.

Why this model stands out

• Direct fit for retrofit and replacement projects where a like-for-like 2-pole, 40A, 240V unit is required, reducing downtime and wiring changes.
• Reliable interruption performance for dual-conductor circuits, helping prevent damage from overloads or short circuits on 240V feeders.
• Clear part-number-based procurement minimizes mis-orders and ensures you’re selecting the exact 2C40UL configuration for your panel.

Ideal use cases

In commercial electrical rooms and industrial facilities, the 2C40UL serves as the protective backbone for 240V equipment such as compressors, conveyors, large fans, and circuit feeders that require a 40A capacity. It’s also a common choice when upgrading older panels to modern protection standards, ensuring continued compliance and safety.

Installation and safety notes

• Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician, following all local codes and enclosure manufacturer instructions.
• Verify that your panel supports a 2-pole 40A breaker of this type and that the bus configuration aligns with the 2C40UL model.
• Refer to the labeling on the existing equipment to ensure the correct amperage, voltage, and pole configuration before replacing any unit.
