Description

Providing essential overcurrent protection for residential and commercial applications, this 70-amp component handles heavier loads like large HVAC systems or subpanels. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism ensures reliable performance under varying conditions. It mounts into standard QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and NQOD enclosures. The standard 3/4-inch format maintains compatibility with existing Square D infrastructure. A built-in Visi-Trip indicator clearly flags tripped status.

Product FAQs

6 answers
Can I install the QO270 in a Square D Homeline load center?

No. Square D QO and Homeline series breakers have different physical profiles and are not interchangeable. The QO270 is exclusively designed for QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and NQOD panelboards.

Is this 70A circuit breaker HACR rated?

Yes, the QO270 is HACR rated. It is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment motor loads that require this specific safety designation.

What is the required terminal torque for the QO270 box lugs?

The factory tightening torque specification for the box lugs is 44.25 lb-in (5 N.m) for 8 to 2 AWG aluminum or copper conductors. Always verify against the breaker label during installation.

How much panel space is required to install the QO270?

This 2-pole breaker requires two standard 3/4-inch QO spaces. It will take up 1.5 inches of total panel width.

Does this breaker feature a tripped circuit indicator?

Yes, the QO270 includes the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. A red flag appears in the breaker window when the device trips, making it easy to visually identify a tripped circuit inside a crowded panel.

What is the bolt-on equivalent for the QO270?

The bolt-on equivalent designed for NQ and NQOD panelboards is catalog number QOB270.
