Overview
The Square D PowerPact Q QDL32070 is a 3-pole, 70-ampere molded case circuit breaker rated for 240V AC distribution applications. Featuring thermal-magnetic trip technology, this breaker delivers reliable overload and short-circuit protection with a 25kA interrupting capacity at 240V AC. Unit mount design with lug-type line and load connections makes it well-suited for panelboards, switchboards, and individually mounted distribution systems. Built to 80% continuous current rating per UL, and HACR rated for HVAC circuit protection.
