Square D NC68VSHR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Square D NC68VSHR and what does it do on an NQ or NF panelboard?
NC68VSHR is a Type 1 surface-mount front cover for Square D NQ and NF panelboards. It is a ventilated, hinged steel front that closes off the panelboard interior while letting air move around the installed breakers, and the hinge lets you swing it open for inspection or breaker changes instead of unbolting a flat trim. It is not a panelboard interior or an enclosure box, just the cover.
2) Can I use this Square D cover on a flush-mounted panelboard recessed into the wall?
No. The NC68VSHR is built as a Type 1 surface enclosure cover, meant for NQ/NF panelboards mounted on the wall surface. A flush or recessed installation needs a flush trim with the appropriate door and overlap, not this surface front.
3) Is a ventilated panelboard cover OK for an electrical room, or do I need a solid front?
A ventilated front like the NC68VSHR is a Type 1 indoor rating only. It suits general indoor commercial and industrial spaces, electrical rooms, offices, data centers and similar dry locations, where the louvers help move heat away from the breakers. If the panel sees washdown, dust, damp, or any outdoor exposure, a ventilated Type 1 front is the wrong choice and you want a solid, gasketed enclosure rated for that environment.
4) What panelboard current ratings does the Square D NC68VSHR cover work with?
It is matched to NQ/NF panelboards with line ratings of 600 A and 400 A. Confirm your interior's main rating falls in that range before ordering the front.
5) What torque should I use on the panelboard cover screws?
Square D specifies 10 to 12 lb-in on the cover fasteners for this NQ/NF front. Use a torque screwdriver; overtightening distorts the steel front and can leave the hinged door sitting proud of the enclosure.
6) Is this Square D panelboard front UL listed for an inspected commercial job?
The NC68VSHR carries a cULus Listing, so it is recognized for both US and Canadian installations as part of the NQ/NF panelboard system.
7) Can I add this cover later to an existing NQ/NF panelboard, or replace a damaged front?
Yes, that is the point of it. NQ/NF is a modular platform and the front is a separately ordered component, so a damaged or missing ventilated hinged front can be swapped out without touching the interior or the box, as long as the panel is a surface-mounted NQ/NF at 400 A or 600 A.
8) Does the Square D NC68VSHR come as a single cover or a multi-pack?
It ships one each, a single cover per order. The MPN to quote is NC68VSHR, made in the United States.
