Product FAQs

7 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the QOB1401021 circuit breaker?

This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It will not fit in standard QO load centers, which require plug-on breakers.

What does the 1021 suffix indicate on this Square D breaker?

The 1021 suffix means the breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip accessory. This allows the circuit breaker to be opened remotely via a control signal.

How much panel space does the QOB1401021 require?

Although it is a 1-pole breaker, the factory-installed shunt trip accessory requires an additional pole space. The unit is 1.5 inches wide and will occupy two spaces total in your panelboard.

What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on this 40A breaker?

The box lugs on this breaker accept 8 AWG to 2 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.

Can the QOB1401021 be used in direct current (DC) applications?

Yes, this breaker is rated for use on DC systems up to 48VDC, where it provides an interrupting rating of 5kAIC.

How can I tell if this breaker has tripped?

This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When a trip occurs, the handle moves to a center position and a bright red indicator appears in a window on the face of the breaker.

Is the QOB1401021 rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HACR) equipment?

Yes, standard QOB thermal magnetic circuit breakers are HACR rated for use with multi-motor and combination loads found in HVAC equipment.
