Designed for remote tripping, this 15A, two-pole miniature circuit breaker includes a factory-installed shunt trip. It provides thermal-magnetic protection for 120/240VAC systems. The breaker mounts into Square D QO load centers and NQ panelboards. Due to the side-mounted shunt trip, this plug-on device requires three panel spaces. Rated at 10 kAIC, it features a Visi-Trip indicator for quick troubleshooting. The HACR-rated unit accepts 14-8 AWG wire.
Can I install the QO2151021 in a Square D Homeline load center?
No. QO series breakers, including the QO2151021, have a specific plug-on mounting clip that is not compatible with Homeline panels. It is designed exclusively for QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and NQOD panelboards.
What does the 1021 suffix mean for this QO circuit breaker?
The 1021 suffix indicates that this breaker comes with a factory-installed AC shunt trip. This accessory allows the breaker to be tripped remotely using a 120V, 208V, or 240V AC control signal.
How many panel spaces does the QO2151021 require?
This unit requires three standard 3/4-inch spaces in your panel. The 2-pole breaker occupies two spaces, and the factory-installed shunt trip accessory requires one additional space.
How do I wire the shunt trip on the QO2151021?
The factory-installed shunt trip module has two pigtail wires. To wire it, connect one lead to the neutral of your control power source, and the other lead to the normally open contact of your remote activation device, such as an emergency stop button or fire alarm relay. When the contact closes, it sends a 120V to 240V AC signal to the coil, tripping the breaker.
How do I reset the QO2151021 after the shunt trip has been activated?
Once the remote control signal is removed and the fault is cleared, you can reset the breaker manually. Push the breaker handle firmly to the OFF position, then push it back to the ON position.
Does this breaker provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No. The QO2151021 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker with a shunt trip. It provides standard overload and short-circuit protection but does not include Ground Fault (GFCI) or Arc Fault (AFCI) capabilities.
Does the QO2151021 feature a Visi-Trip indicator?
Yes. Like most standard QO breakers, it includes Square D's Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, either from an overcurrent event or via the remote shunt trip, a red indicator appears in the breaker window to easily identify the tripped circuit.
What is the difference between the QO215 and the QO2151021?
The QO215 is the standard 2-pole, 15A circuit breaker. The QO2151021 is the exact same breaker but includes a factory-installed 120/208/240V AC shunt trip accessory, which adds one extra pole space to its overall width.
