Eaton BAB2025 - 25 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Engineered for dependable branch circuit protection, the Eaton BAB2025 is a 25A, 240V, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker built to perform in panelboards and loadcenters. Designed for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments, this breaker delivers a robust, vibration-resistant connection and precise protection where it matters most.

Key capabilities that set the BAB2025 apart include a secure bolt-on mounting that ensures a rigid bus connection, minimizing movement that can lead to nuisance trips or loose contacts. Its thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection: the thermal element handles gradual overloads, while the magnetic element delivers an instantaneous response to short circuits—helping protect downstream wiring and connected equipment without compromising power continuity.

Compatibility is a core advantage. The BAB2025 is designed to work with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, providing a precise fit and reliable UL-listed performance. This makes it an excellent choice for retrofit projects or new installations where OEM compatibility matters for serviceability and warranty considerations.

• Two-pole design supports 240V circuits with a common trip, ideal for protecting shared neutrals and multi-wire branch circuits.
• Bolt-on mounting ensures a rigid, vibration-resistant connection that stands up to HVAC, workshop, and industrial environments.
• Thermal-magnetic protection combines long-cycle overload protection with fast magnetic trip for short circuits, reducing exposure to dangerous fault conditions.
• OEM-load center compatibility provides a seamless replacement path and predictable electrical performance in existing installations.
• Durable molded case construction designed for reliability in residential to light-industrial settings.
