Product FAQs
8 answers
What does the -1200 suffix indicate on this Square D breaker?
The -1200 suffix means the breaker comes with a factory-installed auxiliary switch. It features a "B" contact that remains closed when the breaker is off or tripped, which is useful for remote status signaling.
Can I mount the QOU315-1200 on a DIN rail?
Yes, QOU series breakers like the QOU315-1200 can be DIN rail mounted, flush mounted, or surface mounted. They are commonly used in control panels and OEM enclosures.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the QOU315-1200?
The slotted box lugs on both the line and load sides accept copper or aluminum wire ranging from 14 AWG to 2 AWG.
Does this breaker require a specific load center for installation?
No. Unlike plug-on or bolt-on breakers that require specific panelboards, the QOU315-1200 is a unit mount (feed-thru) breaker. It has lugs on both ends and mounts directly to a flat surface or DIN rail, making it ideal for custom control panels.
What type of trip mechanism does the QOU315-1200 use?
It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. The thermal element provides long-time protection against mild overloads, while the magnetic element offers instantaneous protection against severe short circuits.
Is the QOU315-1200 HACR rated?
Yes, standard Square D QOU miniature circuit breakers are HACR rated, meaning they are approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment multi-motor loads.
Does the QOU315-1200 feature a Visi-Trip indicator?
Yes, like other QO and QOU series breakers, it includes a red Visi-Trip indicator that becomes visible when the breaker has tripped, allowing for quick identification of a faulted circuit.
Is the QOU315-1200 the same as the QOU315?
The QOU315-1200 is built on the standard QOU315 15A 3-pole breaker platform, but it includes the factory-installed -1200 auxiliary switch. If you do not need the auxiliary switch for remote signaling, the standard QOU315 can be used.
