The Square D FH16020C is an FH-frame, 1-pole, 20A, 277V plug-in breaker rated at 65kA interrupting capacity, designed for commercial and industrial panelboards that accept the Square D FH-frame plug-in style. It is not designed for Square D QO or Homeline residential loadcentres — the FH series targets higher-voltage, higher-interrupting-capacity commercial/industrial applications. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm fitment.
The FH16020C operates at 277V (versus the 120/240V rating of QO and Homeline breakers) and carries a high 65kA interrupting rating. It is an FH-frame commercial/industrial plug-in breaker, making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement in residential QO or Homeline loadcentres.
The Square D FH-frame series can be difficult to source through standard distribution channels. Northern Breaker Group specializes in hard-to-find and obsolete breakers — contact us for current stock availability and lead times on the FH16020C.
If your existing breaker is a Square D FH-frame plug-in unit with matching voltage (277V) and the panel bus can accommodate a 1-pole, 20A breaker, the FH16020C is generally a direct replacement. Always verify the panelboard's interrupting rating meets or exceeds 65kA and that the bus stab configuration matches — reach out to us with your panel details to confirm.
