Issue:
Can the QMB breaker switches or QMB switches be backfed?

Product Line:
QMB Panelboards

Environment:
Clarifying if the breaker QMB devices can be backfed as a Main

Cause:
Converting a Main lug QMB panel to Main breaker , or Main fusible switch

Resolution:
No, the Breaker switches, per the wiring diagram label, have Line and Load markings. This eliminates the possibility of using it as a back fed Main or backfed for any reason. QMB Fusible switches have never been rated for backfeeding.
