Engineered for commercial and industrial power distribution, the Square D EGB34070 is a 3-pole, 70A molded case circuit breaker from the E-Frame family. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for branch and feeder circuits. This bolt-on breaker installs into Square D NF panelboards. It features box-type aluminum lugs that accept 14-2/0 AWG copper or 12-2/0 AWG aluminum wire for flexible integration. Rated for 35kAIC at 480Y/277V and 65kAIC at 240V, it includes a Visi-Trip indicator.

Product FAQs
6 answers
Can I install the EGB34070 in a Square D NQ or I-Line panelboard?
No, the EGB34070 is a bolt-on E-frame breaker engineered specifically for Square D NF series panelboards. It will not fit in NQ or I-Line panelboards, which require entirely different breaker frame types.
Is the EGB34070 a direct replacement for the legacy EHB34070?
The older EHB34070 was built exclusively for legacy NEHB panelboards. The modern EGB34070 is designed for NF panelboards, meaning they are not physically interchangeable unless the panelboard infrastructure itself is also being upgraded.
How does the EGB34070 differ from the EDB34070 and EJB34070 circuit breakers?
All three are E-frame breakers for NF panelboards with identical physical dimensions. The primary difference is their maximum interrupting capacity at 480Y/277VAC: the EDB34070 is rated for 18kAIC, the EGB34070 provides 35kAIC, and the EJB34070 delivers 65kAIC.
Is the EGB34070 circuit breaker approved for DC voltage applications?
No. Square D E-frame breakers, including the EGB series, do not carry a DC voltage rating. They are strictly intended and approved for AC power distribution.
Can I use the EGB34070 for heating, air conditioning, or high-intensity lighting loads?
Yes, this circuit breaker is HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. It is also HID rated for switching high-intensity discharge lighting circuits.
How does the Visi-Trip indicator simplify troubleshooting?
When a fault or overload causes the breaker to trip, the handle snaps to a midpoint position and reveals a bright red Visi-Trip indicator. This allows electricians to quickly visually identify a tripped breaker inside a crowded NF panelboard without needing to test each circuit.
