Product FAQs
8 answersWhat does the "C" suffix in the FH16060C catalog number indicate?
The "C" indicates that this 1-pole breaker is factory-configured to connect exclusively to the Phase C bus in a Square D I-Line panelboard.
How does the FH16060C connect to the panelboard?
It uses the I-Line style plug-in mounting system. The breaker snaps directly onto the panelboard bus for the line connection, while the load side uses a standard mechanical lug.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FH16060C?
For new installations or modern panel upgrades, Square D replaces this legacy F-Frame breaker with the PowerPact B-Frame series, specifically catalog number BGA160605.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the load lug?
The terminal lug accepts 14 to 1/0 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation to prevent overheating.
What should I verify before installing this specific breaker model?
Because this is a Phase C breaker, you must verify that the open slot in your I-Line panelboard aligns with the Phase C bus. Always de-energize the panel before attempting installation.
What does the LI trip function code mean on this breaker?
The LI designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (thermal) overload protection and Instantaneous (magnetic) short-circuit protection. Both settings are fixed on this model.
Can this 1-pole breaker be used in a 3-phase panelboard?
Yes, it is designed to mount in a 3-phase Square D I-Line panelboard, but it will only draw power from Phase C due to its specific factory configuration.
Does this breaker require a separate mounting bracket or hardware?
No. The I-Line mounting design features built-in jaws that grip the panelboard bus directly, eliminating the need for separate mounting hardware or cable connections on the line side.
