Product FAQs
6 answersWhat does the "HS" suffix mean in the QBHW3060HS part number?
The "HS" suffix indicates that this breaker is equipped with a factory-installed shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely using a 120V, 208V, or 240V control signal.
How do I wire the shunt trip on the QBHW3060HS?
The factory-installed shunt trip features two non-polarity-sensitive pigtail leads, typically black. One lead connects to the neutral of your control voltage source, and the other connects to the hot side through a normally open (NO) contact, such as a momentary push button or fire alarm relay.
Can I install the QBHW3060HS in a standard residential load center?
No. The QBHW3060HS is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed exclusively for commercial and industrial Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards. It will not fit in standard plug-on load centers that accept BR or CH type breakers.
What is the difference between Eaton QBHW and BAB circuit breakers?
Both are bolt-on breakers from the Eaton Quicklag family designed for Pow-R-Line panelboards. The primary difference is the interrupting capacity. QBHW breakers are rated for 22kAIC at 240V, while standard BAB breakers are rated for 10kAIC.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit in the QBHW3060HS operate?
It uses a dual-mechanism system (LI). The thermal component provides long-time protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component provides instantaneous tripping to quickly clear severe short circuits.
Can the QBHW3060HS be used for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with HVAC and refrigeration systems that require this specific certification for group motor installations.
