Description

NQ Panelboard interiors may be used in a wide variety of applications including: commercial buildings; industrial buildings; data centers; stadiums; and offices. NQ Panelboards are versatile panelboards that feature a wide selection of bolt-on and plug-on branch circuit breakers, integral main circuit breakers, branch mounted SPDs, and a wide variety of ready to install accessory kits. The interiors are field convertible to support top or bottom feed. This main lugs interior is rated 225A for 240VAC and 48VDC, has a plated aluminum bus, and 42 pole spaces. NQ Panelboards are convertible from main lugs to main circuit breaker. NQ Panelboards offer 200% rated neutrals for nonlinear loads. Factory installed options include phenolic nameplates, power monitoring of mains and branch circuits, split bus interiors, and neutral assemblies which support up to 36 100A branch circuit breakers. NQ Panelboards are available with IP2X per IEC 60529 barriers for UL service entrance applications. Interior has an interrupt current rating of up to 65kA (depending upon the circuit breakers installed). This NQ panelboard interior is UL listed for applications in the USA and Canada. Interior accepts QOB, QOBVH and QHB bolt-on and QO, QOVH and QH plug-on branch circuit breakers. Standard mechanical main lug connections will accept copper or aluminum wire. NQ Panelboard interiors are available with plated aluminum or copper bus. 100A branch circuit breakers may be installed on both sides of NQ Panelboard interiors.

Features

Engineered to house up to 42 individual circuits, this commercial-grade panelboard interior gives facility managers and electricians massive flexibility for ongoing electrical upgrades. It seamlessly accepts both standard Square D QO plug-on and heavy-duty QOB bolt-on circuit breakers, allowing you to easily scale your power distribution without the immense labor cost of replacing the entire panel later.
Built to handle a robust 225-amp maximum load at 240V AC, this 3-phase main lug interior is optimized for demanding commercial lighting, HVAC systems, and high-draw motor loads. By providing perfectly balanced electrical distribution across all three phases, it prevents dangerous localized overheating and ensures your critical business infrastructure runs efficiently around the clock.
Designed specifically as a drop-in component for Schneider Electric NQ series enclosures, this factory-assembled interior drastically reduces on-site assembly hours for panel builders and electrical contractors. Its clean internal layout and easily accessible neutral bars simplify complex cable routing, helping your crew finish the job faster while maintaining a neat, highly professional standard of wire management.
Manufactured to the highest North American safety standards, this Square D panelboard interior is fully UL Listed and CSA Certified to meet the most stringent National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. Relying on thoroughly factory-tested OEM commercial hardware protects your property from catastrophic electrical faults and guarantees your new installation sails smoothly through municipal safety inspections.
