Description
A drop-in replacement for legacy systems, the Eaton HQNPA3060 restores power without panel upgrades. This 3-pole, 60A breaker is engineered for older Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer Quicklag load centers. It installs seamlessly into existing plug-on panelboards, providing an exact match for original equipment rather than using the newer HQP3060 substitute. Rated at 10kAIC at 240VAC, it utilizes proven thermal-magnetic trip technology and is HACR rated for HVAC applications.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the HQNPA3060 circuit breaker?
This breaker is engineered for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer Quicklag load centers, specifically fitting Type P and PL plug-on panelboards.
Is there a modern cross-reference for the legacy HQNPA3060?
Yes, the newer Eaton HQP3060 serves as a direct substitute. However, installing the HQNPA3060 provides an exact match for original equipment in older Quicklag panels.
How does this breaker mount into the load center?
The HQNPA3060 utilizes a plug-on mounting design, allowing it to snap securely into the bus bar of compatible Quicklag panels.
