Eaton BAB2010 - 10 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Discover Eaton BAB2010 — a 2-pole, 10A, 240V bolt-on molded case circuit breaker engineered for dependable branch-circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers.

Built for rugged environments, its secure bolt-on mounting creates a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection, reducing movement that can degrade performance over time. The thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection, tripping quickly on overloads and faults to guard wiring and connected equipment.

Designed for reliable protection where you need it

• Bolt-on mounting for a secure, vibration-resistant connection to the panel bus — ideal for retrofit and new installations.
• Thermal-magnetic trip combines thermal overload sensing with magnetic instantaneous trip for fast fault clearing.
• 2-pole, 10A at 240V configuration protects both legs of a typical branch circuit used in lighting, outlets, small motors, and control circuits.
• OEM compatibility works with matching Eaton OEM load centers and panelboards for straightforward replacement and consistent performance.
• Wide applicability suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where reliable protection is essential.

Practical use cases

Use this 2-pole breaker when you need reliable protection for a dedicated 240V branch circuit in a panelboard or load center. It’s ideal for lighting circuits in commercial spaces, small equipment feeds, or high-demand outlets in light industrial settings when the panel is designed for bolt-on breakers. Because it’s designed to pair with Eaton OEM panels, you get a cohesive protection system with consistent trip characteristics and electrical performance.

Installation and tips

Install in compatible panelboards and load centers that accept bolt-on molded-case breakers. Ensure the power is off and follow all local electrical codes during installation. The bolt-on design provides a solid connection that resists vibration and arcing in areas with intermittent movement or higher mechanical demands.

Why choose this Eaton breaker

Unlike generic replacements, the BAB2010 is purpose-built to integrate with Eaton panel ecosystems, delivering predictable trip curves, reliable operation, and a unified protection strategy across your electrical system. Its compact 2-pole form factor covers standard 240V branch circuits, while the 10A rating suits lighting and small-appliance circuits without unnecessary power bottlenecks.
