Product FAQs

5 answers
What does the 1021 suffix mean in the QOB3401021 catalog number?

The 1021 suffix indicates that this circuit breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240V AC shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped from a remote location using a separate control circuit.

How many panel spaces does the QOB3401021 require for installation?

This breaker requires four panel spaces. The 3-pole breaker itself takes three spaces, and the factory-installed shunt trip accessory requires one additional pole space.

Can I use a QOB3401021 in place of a QO3401021?

No. While both are 40A, 3-pole breakers with a shunt trip, the QOB3401021 features a bolt-on connection for NQ and NQOD panelboards. The QO version uses a plug-on connection designed for standard QO load centers.

Does this breaker include a visual trip indicator?

Yes, Square D QOB breakers feature a Visi-Trip indicator. This provides a highly visible red flag when the breaker has tripped due to an overload or short circuit, making it easier to identify the faulted circuit.

Can the shunt trip accessory be removed or modified in the field?

No, the 120/240V AC shunt trip on the QOB3401021 is factory-installed. Miniature QOB breakers do not support field-installable internal accessories.
