The Square D EGB16070 is a bolt-on, 1-pole, 60A, 347V, 18kA molded-case circuit breaker from the EGB (EG) frame series. As an industrial/commercial MCCB, it is designed to mount in Square D panelboards and switchboards that accept bolt-on EG-frame breakers — not in residential QO or Homeline loadcentres. It is well-suited for 347V single-phase branch circuit protection common in Canadian commercial lighting and HVAC applications.

The EGB16070 uses the EG frame, which is rated for up to 100A. The '70' in the catalogue number denotes the 70A trip rating — however, Square D's own product data confirms this unit trips at 60A (the '60A capacity' referenced in the product data). The frame size simply indicates the physical enclosure and maximum frame capacity; the trip rating is what governs overcurrent protection in your circuit. If you need clarification on the exact trip rating for your application, our team can verify the factory spec sheet.
Yes. The EGB16070 is rated for 347V AC, making it a common choice for Canadian commercial and industrial single-phase branch circuits — particularly 347V fluorescent or LED lighting systems fed from a 600/347V wye distribution system. Its 18kA interrupting rating also meets the fault-current requirements of most commercial distribution panels.
Square D's EG-frame MCCB series has seen product line transitions over the years, and availability can vary. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, so even if this unit is discontinued or in short supply through standard channels, we can often source verified stock.
