How to read a Square D NQ panelboard catalog number.
Merchandised NQ interiors read NQ, then 4 for three phase 4 wire (no digit for single phase 3 wire), then the circuit count, then L for main lugs, then the mains code (1 = 100 A, 2 = 225 A, 4 = 400 A, 6 = 600 A), then C if the bus is copper.
Not sure? Type it into the catalog lookup or text a photo of the label.
- Copper bus interiors (C suffix) are worth more than aluminum bus.
- Panels with a full set of QO or QOB breakers bring more than empty interiors.
- Complete interior, box and trim sets are worth more than interiors alone.
- New surplus in the carton brings the most.
- We do not publish prices. Metal, demand, and condition move them. You get a written number for your unit.
NQ interiors ship with a solid neutral and an aluminum ground bar kit and are field convertible to top feed. The same NQ interior takes either plug-on QO or bolt-on QOB breakers. Square D notes that some local codes, including those referencing the 2005 or earlier NEC, limit panelboards to 42 circuits, which is why both 42 and 84 circuit interiors are listed.
