Product FAQs
6 answers
What equipment is the QCF1030 circuit breaker compatible with?
This Quicklag breaker is designed for front-mounted installations in OEM control panels, custom enclosures, and Eaton panelboards that accept feed-thru, cable-in/cable-out connections.
Will this Eaton breaker replace a legacy Cutler-Hammer QCF1030?
Yes. The modern Eaton QCF1030 is the exact replacement for older Cutler-Hammer branded versions, as they share the identical Quicklag frame and catalog number.
Are the terminal lugs on this breaker rated for aluminum wire?
Yes, the built-in box lugs are dual-rated for both aluminum and copper conductors. They accept wire sizes ranging from 14 AWG up to 4 AWG.
How is the QCF series wired compared to a standard branch breaker?
Unlike standard plug-on or bolt-on breakers that draw power directly from a panel busbar, the QCF series uses a feed-thru, cable-in/cable-out design. Installers must land separate wires on both the line and load side box lugs.
Does the LI trip function on this breaker allow for field adjustments?
No. The long-time and instantaneous thermal-magnetic trip settings on this miniature circuit breaker are permanently fixed and cannot be adjusted.
Is the QCF1030 suitable for HVAC or high-intensity lighting circuits?
Yes, this model is both HACR and HID rated. It is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment, as well as for safely switching high-intensity discharge lighting loads.
