Designed for legacy electrical systems, the Square D FH16060B is a 1-pole, 60A molded case circuit breaker. It delivers robust thermal-magnetic protection for commercial and industrial branch circuits operating up to 277VAC or 125VDC. This F-Frame breaker mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards via a Phase B bus connection. When upgrading, this unit is replaced by the PowerPact BGA14060. It features a 65kAIC interrupting capacity at 120V and carries a HACR rating.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FH16060B?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a plug-in mounting style that connects directly to the I-Line bus system.
What does the B suffix in the FH16060B catalog number indicate?
The B suffix specifies the phase connection. This 1-pole breaker is factory-configured to plug specifically into the B-phase bus of an I-Line panelboard.
What is the difference between the FA16060B and FH16060B breakers?
Both are 60A, 1-pole F-frame breakers for I-Line panels, but they have different interrupting capacities. The FH16060B is the high-interrupting version, rated at 65kAIC at 120VAC, while the FA series offers a standard interrupting rating.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FH16060B?
Schneider Electric has transitioned the legacy F-frame series to obsolescence. The modern equivalent for I-Line panel upgrades is the PowerPact B-frame series, which maintains the same mounting footprint while offering updated features.
Can the FH16060B be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for direct current applications up to 125VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC for DC circuits.
How can I visually verify if the FH16060B has tripped?
This breaker includes the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When a fault occurs, the handle snaps to a center position and a bright red indicator appears, allowing you to quickly identify the tripped circuit in a panel.
