Product FAQs
8 answers
How is the Square D QOU320VH circuit breaker mounted?
The QOU320VH is a unit-mount circuit breaker designed for standalone installation. It can be surface mounted, flush mounted, or installed on a standard DIN rail using a compatible Square D mounting bracket, making it ideal for custom control panels.
What does the VH suffix indicate on the QOU320VH?
The VH suffix designates a very high interrupting rating. While standard QOU breakers are typically rated at 10kA, the QOU320VH is rated to safely interrupt up to 22kA at 240VAC.
What wire sizes are accepted by the QOU320VH terminals?
The factory-installed box lugs accept 14 AWG to 2 AWG conductors. The terminals are rated for both aluminum and copper wiring.
Is the QOU320VH rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is UL listed for DC applications up to 48VDC with a 5kA interrupting capacity.
What is the recommended terminal torque for the QOU320VH?
The box lug terminals on this 20A breaker should be tightened to 45 lb-in to ensure a secure and compliant connection.
Can I use the QOU320VH to replace a standard QOU320?
Yes, the QOU320VH shares the same physical dimensions and mounting footprint as the standard QOU320, but provides a higher interrupting rating (22kA vs 10kA). It is a direct, upgraded replacement where higher fault current protection is required.
What type of protection does the QOU320VH provide?
It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit that provides long-time (L) protection against overloads and instantaneous (I) protection against short circuits.
Can this breaker be installed in a standard QO load center?
No, the QOU320VH is a unit-mount breaker designed for OEM panels, DIN rail systems, and enclosures. It does not have the plug-on or bolt-on clips required for standard QO or QOB load centers.
