Product FAQs

What panelboards are compatible with the Square D EGB26030 circuit breaker?
The EGB26030 is an E-frame breaker designed specifically for use in Square D NF series lighting panelboards. It is a bolt-on breaker and will not fit NQ, I-Line, or QO load centers.
Can the EGB26030 be used to replace an EDB26030?
Yes. The EGB26030 has a higher interrupting rating (35kAIC at 480Y/277VAC) compared to the EDB26030 (18kAIC). It shares the same physical dimensions and mounting, making it a direct, upgraded replacement for the EDB26030 in NF panelboards.
How much panel space does the EGB26030 require?
This 2-pole E-frame breaker requires two spaces in an NF panelboard. Each pole occupies 1 inch of width, for a total width of 2 inches.
What is the recommended wire size and torque specification for the EGB26030 terminals?
The terminal lugs accept 14 to 6 AWG copper wire or 12 to 6 AWG aluminum wire. The recommended tightening torque for the terminal screws is 30 lb-in (3.4 N.m).
Is the EGB26030 suitable for reverse feeding in solar applications?
Yes, standard Square D E-frame breakers like the EGB26030 can be backfed for solar or generator applications because they do not have line and load markings. However, they are not DC rated.
What does the letter G in the EGB26030 part number indicate?
The letter G designates the interrupting rating level of the breaker. In the Square D E-frame family, G indicates a medium interrupting capacity of 35kAIC at 480Y/277VAC, which is higher than the standard D rating (18kAIC) but lower than the high-capacity J rating (65kAIC).
Does the EGB26030 include ground fault protection?
No. The EGB26030 is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. Ground fault equipment protection is only included on Square D E-frame breakers that have an EPD suffix in the catalog number.
How can I tell if the EGB26030 has tripped in the panel?
The breaker features a Visi-Trip indicator. When a fault or overload causes the breaker to trip, the handle moves to a center position and a high-visibility red flag appears, making it easy to locate the tripped circuit.
