Q2431-70 - 70A Circuit Breaker

Q2431-70 - 70A Circuit Breaker

Need to match a Q2431-70 circuit breaker in an existing electrical system? This Type Q24 breaker is a 3-pole, 70-amp plug-on circuit breaker with a 10 kA I.C. rating at 240 VAC. One detail you'll want to pay close attention to is the connection arrangement. Two legs plug in, while the third leg feeds through. That's an important distinction when you're checking an existing breaker for proper form, fit, and function as a replacement.

The Q2431-70 measures 4.81 inches high, 2.25 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep. Those dimensions, along with the Q24 type, 3-pole configuration, 70A rating, and connection style, should be checked against the breaker being replaced. In older electrical equipment, even small differences can matter. Matching the complete set of specifications is a better approach than choosing a breaker based on amperage alone. When your equipment requires this configuration, the Q2431-70 offers a straightforward way to maintain the system's intended setup. It's built to last and designed for use within its stated electrical ratings.
