Built for commercial and industrial applications, the QO215-1021 is a 2-pole, 15A miniature circuit breaker from Square D. It features a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip accessory, allowing the breaker to be tripped remotely via an external voltage signal. This plug-on breaker installs into standard QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and NQOD panelboards. It accepts 14-8 AWG aluminum or copper wiring via pressure plate terminals and requires two panel spaces for installation.
Which panelboards and load centers are compatible with the QO215-1021?
This breaker installs into Square D QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and legacy NQOD panelboards. It features a plug-on mounting design and cannot be installed in Homeline load centers or bolt-on QOB panels.
What does the -1021 suffix indicate on this QO circuit breaker?
The -1021 suffix signifies that the breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by applying voltage to the shunt trip coil, which is commonly used for emergency stops or automated control systems.
How many panel spaces does the QO215-1021 require?
Because it includes a factory-installed shunt trip accessory, this 2-pole breaker requires 3 pole spaces in the load center or panelboard.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism operate in this breaker?
The thermal-magnetic mechanism provides dual protection. A bimetallic strip responds to prolonged overloads (Long-Time trip), while an electromagnetic assembly reacts immediately to short circuits (Instantaneous trip).
What is the difference between the QO215-1021 and the QOB215-1021?
The QO215-1021 features a plug-on mounting design for QO load centers and NQ panelboards. The QOB215-1021 is the bolt-on equivalent designed specifically for NQ and NQOD panelboards that require bolt-on connections.
