Schneider Electric EHB24070 Type EHB Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric's Square D EHB24070 is a two-pole, 70-amp Type EHB circuit breaker rated for 480Y/277 VAC, designed to protect branch circuits in commercial and light‑industrial power distributions that use 277/480‑volt service. As part of the EHB family, this device sits in the 70 A class and is intended for use with Schneider Electric's Square D panelboards and enclosures, providing compatible mounting and trip characteristics within the same brand ecosystem. The 480Y/277 VAC rating makes it suitable for feeders and branch circuits in facilities with high‑voltage lighting, HVAC loads, and other equipment fed from a 277/480‑volt distribution network. This model is a standard molded‑case breaker that preserves safe interruption of fault current while meeting the requirements of high‑voltage commercial installations, and it is designed to be integrated smoothly within the EHB lineup without cross‑brand compatibility concerns. For accurate selection, confirm that the panel’s bus footprint and amperage rating align with the EHB24070’s 70 A, 2‑pole configuration.
