Product FAQs

5 answers
Which load centers accept the Zinsco QC30 circuit breaker?

The QC30 is designed exclusively for legacy Zinsco and Sylvania electrical panels that accept Type QC plug-in breakers. It features a proprietary mounting clip that will not fit modern panels from other manufacturers.

Is there a modern replacement available for the obsolete Zinsco QC30?

Yes. Connecticut Electric manufactures an ETL-listed, direct drop-in replacement under the catalog number UBIZ230 or UBIZ230-1. This provides a newly manufactured alternative for maintaining existing Zinsco load centers.

What safety concerns are associated with legacy Zinsco circuit breakers?

Original Zinsco breakers have a documented history of failing to trip during overcurrent conditions and occasionally fusing to the panel bus bar. While replacing a faulty breaker restores immediate function, many licensed electricians recommend a complete panel upgrade to mitigate long-term hazards.

How much panel space does the QC30 require for installation?

The QC30 is a thick-series, two-pole breaker that requires two 3/4-inch spaces, taking up a total of 1.5 inches of width on the panel bus bar.

How does the QC30 connect to the panel bus bar?

It utilizes a plug-on connection with a deep slot that attaches directly to the flat connecting bus bars found in Zinsco and Sylvania load centers.
