FHP36070 SQUARE D 3P 70A 600V

The FHP36070 carries a 14kA AIC (Ampere Interrupting Capacity) at 600V. This is appropriate for many commercial and light industrial distribution panels where available fault current does not exceed 14kA. If your system's available fault current is higher, a higher-interrupting-rated Square D MCCB may be required. Contact us with your panel specs and we can help identify the right breaker.

Square D's FHP frame series has seen limited production in recent years, making units like the FHP36070 increasingly hard to find through standard supply channels. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers — we maintain stock of legacy Square D MCCBs and can source them through our established network. Reach out to one of our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters for availability.

Yes — a 3-pole, 70A, 600V MCCB like the FHP36070 is commonly used for motor branch-circuit protection in commercial and industrial settings, provided the breaker's trip characteristics and the motor's full-load current are properly coordinated per CSA C22.1 (Canadian Electrical Code). Always verify that the breaker's magnetic trip range is suitable for the motor's starting current, and consult a qualified electrician for final circuit design.
