QBGF2040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

QBGF2040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

Looking for a QBGF2040 circuit breaker? This 40-amp, 2-pole breaker is a Type QBGF bolt-on model with thermal-magnetic protection. It's rated for 120/240V and 240V applications and is intended for use with compatible electrical equipment that calls for this breaker type. The bolt-on design provides the breaker with a secure connection within compatible equipment, while its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism protects against overloads and short circuits. The QBGF2040 also incorporates ground-fault protection. At 3.19 inches high, 2 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep, it's a relatively compact breaker, but dimensions are only part of the compatibility equation. Always compare the catalog number and electrical ratings to the breaker you're replacing or to the equipment's requirements. For maintenance crews, electricians, and facility professionals, finding the correct breaker often comes down to getting the details right. If the job calls for a 40A, 2-pole, bolt-on QBGF breaker, the QBGF2040 is the model to check against your system specifications.
