Product FAQs
6 answers
Can I install the QOB220-2100 in a standard Square D QO load center?
No. The QOB220-2100 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard QO residential load centers require plug-on breakers (QO series) and will not accept bolt-on (QOB series) models.
What does the -2100 suffix mean on the QOB220-2100 catalog number?
The -2100 suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed alarm switch (bell alarm). This accessory provides a remote signal when the breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit, making it ideal for monitoring critical commercial or industrial circuits.
How is the QOB220-2100 secured to the panelboard?
This QOB frame breaker features a bolt-on connection. It fastens directly to the panelboard busbar using integrated mounting screws, ensuring a secure, vibration-resistant electrical connection typically required in commercial and industrial environments.
Does the QOB220-2100 feature a visual trip indicator?
Yes, it includes Square D's signature Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, the handle snaps to a center position and a highly visible red flag appears in the window, allowing you to quickly identify the faulted circuit in a crowded panel.
Is the QOB220-2100 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated. It is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires group motor protection.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism operate on this breaker?
The QOB220-2100 uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with long-time and instantaneous (LI) functions. The thermal element provides delayed tripping for sustained overloads, while the magnetic element trips instantaneously in the event of a short circuit.

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.
