Product FAQs

5 answers
What does the 1021 suffix mean on the QOB120VH-1021?

The 1021 suffix indicates that this circuit breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by applying a voltage signal, which is commonly used for emergency stop circuits or automated shutdown systems.

How many panel spaces does the QOB120VH-1021 require?

Although it is a 1-pole circuit breaker, it requires two pole spaces (1.5 inches of width) in the panelboard. The factory-installed shunt trip accessory occupies the second space.

Can I install this QOB breaker in a standard QO load center?

No. QOB circuit breakers feature a bolt-on mounting design intended specifically for commercial and industrial NQ and NQOD panelboards. They are not compatible with standard residential QO plug-on load centers.

What does the VH designation indicate in the part number?

The VH indicates that this is a high-interrupting circuit breaker. It provides a 22kAIC rating at 120/240VAC, which is higher than the standard 10kAIC rating found on base QOB models.

Does this breaker feature a tripped status indicator?

Yes, it includes the standard Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or a remote shunt trip signal, a red indicator flag appears in the window to help quickly identify the tripped breaker in a panelboard.

    Great Price!

    Great price. Fast delivery. My local electric distributor wanted double for the same breaker, so it was a no brainer to order this one. Ordered another one since with the same great service.
