Product FAQs
7 answers
Does the QC3100H require a specific busbar connection for installation?
No, this is a cable-in/cable-out breaker that does not plug or bolt into a traditional busbar. It mounts directly to the panel backpan or can be installed on a DIN rail using a separate Eaton adapter.
Can I install the QC3100H in a standard residential load center?
No, the QC3100H is a Quicklag cable-in/cable-out breaker designed for industrial control panels, enclosures, and specific Eaton Quicklag panelboards. It will not fit in standard plug-on or bolt-on residential load centers.
Is the QC3100H suitable for direct current (DC) control circuits?
Yes, in addition to its standard 240VAC rating, this breaker is UL 489 approved for DC control panels and enclosures. It provides a 5 kAIC rating at 48 VDC and a 3.8 kAIC rating at 62.5 VDC.
Will a Cutler-Hammer QC3100H match my existing Westinghouse Quicklag breakers?
Yes. Eaton acquired both the Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse electrical distribution lines. A modern Eaton or Cutler-Hammer QC3100H is a direct, authentic replacement for older Westinghouse breakers with the same QC catalog number.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the QC3100H?
No, the thermal-magnetic trip unit on this breaker is fixed. It provides factory-calibrated long-time (overload) and instantaneous (short-circuit) protection that cannot be modified in the field.
Is the 100A rating of the QC3100H calibrated for a specific ambient temperature?
Yes, the thermal-magnetic trip unit is calibrated for a 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) ambient temperature, which is standard for UL 489 branch circuit breakers.
What regulatory approvals does the QC3100H carry for industrial applications?
This breaker is UL 489 listed and CSA certified, making it suitable for branch circuit protection in industrial control panels and OEM equipment.

My experience was great. I had the item quickly; and it was more reasonably priced than other places I checked. Not having to pay freight was an absolute bonus.
