The Square D EGB14020 is a bolt-on, molded-case circuit breaker in Square D's EGB frame, rated 1-pole, 20A, 277V AC, 35kA interrupt capacity. As an MCCB-class bolt-on device, it is designed for use in commercial and industrial panelboards and switchboards that accept EGB-frame bolt-on breakers — it is not intended for residential QO or Homeline loadcentres. Typical applications include 277V lighting branch circuits in commercial buildings.

277V is the phase-to-neutral voltage of a 480Y/277V three-phase commercial power system — the standard voltage for fluorescent and LED lighting circuits in commercial and industrial buildings across Canada. The EGB14020 is purpose-rated for these branch circuits, making it a common choice for lighting panel applications.
The 35kA interrupting capacity means the EGB14020 can safely clear a fault current of up to 35,000 amperes without catastrophic failure. You must verify that the available short-circuit current (ASCC) at your panelboard does not exceed 35kA — your electrical engineer or utility can confirm this. Installing a breaker with an insufficient interrupting rating is a code violation under the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
The Square D EGB frame series has been superseded by newer MCCB lines, making genuine EGB14020 units increasingly hard to source through standard channels. Northern Breaker Group specializes in exactly this type of obsolete and hard-to-find breaker. Contact our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counter for current stock availability and lead times.
