The Square D FA17070B is a plug-in, 1-pole, 70A, 347V, 14kAIC molded-case circuit breaker from Square D's FA frame series. FA-frame breakers are designed for use in compatible Square D panelboards and loadcentres that accept FA-frame plug-in devices — typically light commercial and industrial panelboards rather than standard residential loadcentres. This breaker is not a QO or Homeline type and will not fit those panels.

No, they are not interchangeable. The FA17070B is an FA-frame molded-case breaker rated for 347V and 14kAIC, intended for commercial/light-industrial panelboards. QO and Homeline breakers are residential plug-in types with different frame dimensions, voltage ratings, and mounting systems. Always match the breaker frame and series to your specific panel.
Square D FA-frame breakers are considered a legacy/hard-to-find product line in many configurations. Northern Breaker Group specialises in obsolete and discontinued electrical equipment across Canada. Contact our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters and we'll advise on current availability — new, reconditioned, or equivalent replacement options.
347V is a standard phase-to-neutral voltage on Canadian 600V (347/600V) distribution systems, widely used in commercial and industrial buildings across Canada. The FA17070B is specifically designed for single-phase protection on one leg of such a system — for example, protecting a 347V lighting circuit. Ensure your system voltage matches before installation.
