QBHW1070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

QBHW1070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

Safeguard your electrical system with the Eaton QBHW1070, a 70-amp thermal-magnetic circuit breaker built to deliver dependable protection and long-lasting performance. Whether in a commercial plant or industrial setup, this breaker gives you high interrupt capacity, solid safety certifications, and rugged design—everything you need to prevent overcurrent damage, outages, or system failures.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dual‐Mode Protection: Combines thermal (overload) and magnetic (short‑circuit) trip mechanisms so you get both gradual and instant protection under different electrical fault conditions.
• High Interrupt Capacity: Rated at 22,000 AIC (Amps Interrupting Capacity) so it can handle very high fault currents without compromising safety.
• Space‑Saving Build: Its compact footprint—approximately 3.75 in × 1 in × 3.5 in—and a light weight (~0.33 lb) make installation easier and help conserve panel space.
• Voltage Flexibility: Compatible with both 120V and 240V systems, giving you flexibility across different wiring and application setups.
• Tamper‑Resistant Safety: Non-interchangeable design helps ensure only the proper type of breaker is used, preserving system integrity and avoiding mismatched components.
