Product FAQs
8 answers
What does the 1021 suffix mean on the QOU3701021?
The 1021 suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip. This allows for remote tripping of the breaker in control panels or automated systems.
How does the shunt trip affect the physical footprint of the QOU3701021?
Factory-installed electrical accessories like the shunt trip take up an additional pole space. Since this is a 3-pole breaker, the addition of the shunt trip means it will occupy four pole spaces in your panel or DIN rail setup.
Can I add a shunt trip to a standard QOU370 in the field?
No. Shunt trips for QOU breakers must be factory-installed. If you need remote trip functionality, you must order a breaker with the appropriate suffix, such as the QOU3701021, rather than attempting a field modification.
Is the QOU3701021 compatible with standard Square D QO load centers?
No, QOU series breakers are unit mount devices intended for 35mm DIN rail or surface mounting in control panels and enclosures. They cannot be installed in standard QO plug-on or NQOB bolt-on panelboards.
What wire sizes are accepted by the shunt trip terminals on this breaker?
The shunt trip terminals on the QOU3701021 accept two 14 to 12 AWG copper wires. The hot and neutral wires can be connected to either terminal.
Does the QOU3701021 include a visual trip indicator?
Yes, like other QO and QOU family breakers, this model features a Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent condition or via the shunt trip, a red indicator appears in the window to help quickly identify the tripped circuit.
Are the line and load lugs reversible on the QOU3701021?
Yes, QOU breakers feature reversible line and load lugs. This allows for convenient flush or surface mount wiring depending on your enclosure layout and cable routing needs.
Is the QOU3701021 rated for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires group motor installations.
