Engineered for remote shutdown capabilities, this 25-amp model incorporates a factory-installed shunt trip mechanism alongside standard thermal-magnetic protection. Facility managers can wire the accessory to emergency stop buttons or fire alarm systems to cut power instantly when required. The unit installs into QO load centers, NQ, and legacy NQOD panelboards. A 10kAIC rating ensures reliable fault clearing while the Visi-Trip flag provides immediate visual confirmation of circuit status.
Which panelboards and load centers accept the QO325-1021 breaker?
This plug-on breaker is compatible with Square D QO load centers, as well as NQ and legacy NQOD panelboards. It is not compatible with Homeline or I-Line panels.
What does the -1021 suffix indicate on the QO325-1021 catalog number?
The -1021 suffix designates a factory-installed shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via a 120/208/240VAC control signal, which is commonly used for emergency shutdowns or fire alarm integration.
How many pole spaces does the QO325-1021 require in a panel?
Because it includes a factory-installed shunt trip accessory, this 3-pole breaker requires four total pole spaces in a QO load center or NQ panelboard.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the QO325-1021 terminals?
The pressure plate terminals are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors, accepting wire sizes from 14 AWG to 8 AWG.
Is the QO325-1021 rated for use in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this breaker is UL Listed for DC applications up to 48VDC, providing a 5kA interrupting rating (5kAIC) for those systems.
Is the QO325-1021 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
How does the Visi-Trip indicator work on the QO325-1021?
When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or a remote shunt trip signal, the handle snaps to a center position and a high-visibility red flag appears in the indicator window, allowing for rapid fault identification in a crowded panel.
