Product FAQs
5 answers
Will the EDB24040 fit standard Square D QO or NQ panelboards?
No. The EDB24040 is a bolt-on E-frame breaker designed exclusively for Square D NF panelboards. It cannot be installed in NQ, NQOD, I-Line, or standard QO load centers.
Can I substitute an EGB or EJB breaker for the EDB24040?
Yes. EGB and EJB circuit breakers share the same physical dimensions and bolt-on mounting for NF panelboards but provide higher maximum interrupting ratings. The EDB frame is rated for 18 kA at 480Y/277V, whereas the EGB is rated for 35 kA and the EJB is rated for 65 kA.
What are the lug tightening torque specifications for the EDB24040?
For conductor sizes 14 AWG to 10 AWG, torque the lugs to 34.5 lb-in. For larger 8 AWG to 2/0 AWG conductors, the required torque increases to 49.6 lb-in.
Is the EDB24040 rated for commercial lighting or HVAC loads?
Yes, this E-frame breaker is both HID-rated (High-Intensity Discharge) for commercial lighting circuits and HACR-rated, making it properly certified for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Does this breaker include a tripped circuit indicator?
Yes, it features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit, a highly visible red flag appears in the indicator window, allowing for rapid identification within the panelboard.
