NE227040 | Circuit Breaker | 40A | 2-Pole | 240V

Meet the NE227040 Circuit Breaker, a rugged, industrial-grade protection device engineered to guard 240V circuits with a 40A rating. This 2-Pole model is purpose-built for maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects where precise specs and reliable interruption matter.

Key specifications

• Amperage: 40A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage: 240V

Why a 2-pole 240V design matters

In 240V circuits, a true 2-pole breaker interrupts both live legs simultaneously, reducing the risk of backfeed and providing safer, more reliable protection for equipment like motors, pumps, and HVAC components. The NE227040 is built to deliver that coordinated shutoff, helping protect wiring, devices, and personnel.

Ideal use cases

• Maintenance and service work on commercial or industrial electrical panels delivering 240V
• Retrofit projects that require a matching 40A, 2-pole, 240V specification
• Reliable replacement for aging breakers in 240V circuits to maintain consistent protection

Fit, compatibility, and buying tips

Before ordering, confirm fit and ratings match your system. The part number NE227040 is the best reference for compatibility with your panel and surrounding hardware. To verify fit:

• Check that the circuit is a 240V, 2-pole configuration
• Ensure the current rating is exactly 40A
• Cross-reference with the NE227040 part number to confirm alignment with your existing equipment

Designed to deliver dependable overcurrent protection in demanding environments, the NE227040 is the practical choice when you need precise, reliable circuit interruption for 240V systems. Equip your panel with this 40A, 2-pole breaker and maintain steady, safe operation across your critical loads.
