Eaton BAB Series Quicklag Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breaker

Eaton BAB Series Quicklag Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BAB Series Quicklag Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breaker delivers dependable overcurrent protection for commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems. Built on Eaton's compact BAB platform with a Non-Interchangeable Q7 frame, this family spans pole and amperage configurations from 1-Pole 15A up to 3-Pole 100A, including 1-Pole 30A, 2-Pole 30A/70A/100A, and 3-Pole 70A/80A/100A options. Each breaker combines a thermal element for overload protection with a magnetic trip for fast short-circuit response, carries a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 120/240V, and is purpose-suited for HID lighting circuits and standard branch circuit protection. The BAB/Q7 platform installs into compatible Eaton panelboards and load centers that accept the BAB/Q7 frame footprint.

Key Features
