What is the difference between NW40 and NW40b?
Issue:
What is the meaning of "b" in NW40 and NW40b nomenclature for Masterpact NW breakers?
Product Line:
Masterpact NW ANSI and IEC rated circuit breakers
Resolution:
The original IEC NW40 was standard width. Later they added the double-wide and called it NW40b.
The reverse was true for ANSI breakers; the original was double-wide and when they introduced the single-wide it was called NW40b.
So, "b" in this nomenclature simply indicates the second version and is single-wide for ANSI but double-wide for IEC.
