Q270 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

Q270 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

Looking for a Q270 circuit breaker? This 70-amp, 2-pole Type QP breaker is a plug-in unit rated for 120/240 VAC, with a 10 kA A.I.C. rating. It's a practical choice when your panel or equipment calls for these specific electrical ratings and a Type QP configuration. The Q270 is also HACR-rated and rated at 40°C so that it can be used in qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications. At 3.13 inches high, 2 inches wide, and 2.56 inches deep, it has a compact footprint that makes it easy to compare with an existing breaker or the requirements of compatible equipment. If you're replacing a breaker, take a minute to check more than just the 70-amp rating. Matching the part number, breaker type, poles, voltage, interrupting rating, and connection style can help you determine whether the Q270 is the right fit.
