QBA220701 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

QBA220701 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you’re looking for a circuit breaker that simply works—day in, day out—without surprises, the Schneider Electric QBA220701 PowerPact Q is built for exactly that. Designed for 240VAC distribution systems, this 70A, 2-pole circuit breaker gives you dependable overcurrent protection with the kind of consistency electricians and facility managers count on. What makes this unit stand out isn’t flashy features—it’s reliability. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism reacts quickly to both overloads and short circuits, helping prevent damage before it becomes expensive downtime. And with a 10kA interrupting rating, it’s more than capable of handling real-world fault conditions in commercial and light industrial environments. Installation is straightforward thanks to the I-Line mounting design, which locks securely into compatible panelboards. Once it’s in place, the built-in push-to-trip button gives you an easy way to test functionality—no guesswork, no second-guessing. It’s a small detail, but one that saves time and adds peace of mind. In short, this is the kind of breaker you install and don’t have to think about again—and that’s exactly the point.
