Product FAQs
7 answers
What panelboards accept the FH26030BC circuit breaker?
This breaker is engineered specifically for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a specialized plug-on jaw design that connects directly to the I-Line bus and is not compatible with standard NQ, NF, or QO load centers.
What does the BC suffix mean in the FH26030BC catalog number?
The BC suffix specifies the phase connection for the I-Line bus. It indicates that this 2-pole breaker is factory-configured to draw power from the B and C phases of the panelboard.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FH26030BC?
The FH26030BC is a legacy F-frame breaker. Facilities looking to upgrade or replace this unit should use the Square D PowerPact H-frame equivalent, catalog number HGA260304, which matches the 30A rating, 2-pole design, and BC phase connection.
What wire sizes are compatible with the terminals on this breaker?
The standard mechanical lugs on the FH26030BC accept wire gauges ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG. The terminals are dual-rated for use with either copper (Cu) or aluminum (Al) conductors.
How is the FH26030BC installed into the electrical panel?
It utilizes an I-Line style plug-in mounting system. The line side of the breaker features jaws that press firmly onto the panelboard bus stack, while the load side is secured to the panel backpan with a mounting bracket. This allows for rapid installation without the need for line-side cabling.
Can the FH26030BC be used in direct current applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for DC systems up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kA at that voltage.
Are the trip settings on the FH26030BC adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time (overload) and instantaneous (short-circuit) trip functions are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
