Cutler-Hammer BAB2040 U Molded Case Circuit Breaker

Cutler-Hammer BAB2040 U Molded Case Circuit Breaker is a two-pole protective device identified by the part number BAB2040 U. This unit is rated for 40 amperes at 240 volts, aligning with the specifications for a standard molded case breaker used in electrical installations. The 2P configuration means the device interrupts two conductors simultaneously within a single enclosure. As a molded case breaker, this unit integrates the trip mechanism and interrupting contacts inside a compact housing, offering a ready-to-install solution for panels that require a 40 A, 240 V two-pole breaker. The BAB2040 U designation identifies this specific variant within Cutler-Hammer's molded case breaker family. With a 40A rating at 240V, this part specifies the current and voltage levels it is intended to protect within approved installations. The two-pole design supports simultaneous disconnection of both conductors in a 240V circuit, aligning with standard electrical practices. This combination—brand, model, electrical rating, and form factor—helps ensure precise identification and replacement in legacy and newer installations.
