Eaton EGB2070FFB - 70 A, 480 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton EGB2070FFB - 70A, 480V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker is engineered to protect distribution circuits with precision and reliability. Built as a molded case breaker, it delivers dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers, making it a dependable choice for demanding electrical environments.

Why this breaker stands out

• Secure bolt-on mounting provides a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that stays tight under operation and throughout service life, reducing the risk of loose connections and nuisance trips.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit offers stable, repeatable protection by combining thermal overload sensing with magnetic instantaneous tripping for short circuits—consistent performance across temperature changes and loads.
• 2-pole, 70A, 480V rating makes it ideal for protecting mid-to-high power circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.
• OEM-ready compatibility designed to integrate with matching Eaton OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring a proper fit, reliable operation, and streamlined replacement or upgrades.
• Robust molded-case construction delivers durable insulation and resistance to dust, moisture, and typical distribution-environment challenges without sacrificing compact form factor.

Ideal use cases

• Distribution panels and subpanels in commercial spaces requiring dependable overload and short-circuit protection.
• Residential distributions where consistent trip characteristics support safe and predictable circuit behavior.
• Light industrial installations with vibrating equipment or periodic movement, where a secure bolt-on connection helps prevent loosening over time.
