Product FAQs
7 answers
What does the -1021 suffix indicate on the QOB345-1021?
The -1021 suffix signifies that the breaker comes with a factory-installed 120/208/240V AC shunt trip. This accessory allows the breaker to be tripped remotely, which is often required for emergency shutdown or automated control systems.
Which panelboards accept the QOB345-1021 circuit breaker?
This breaker is specifically designed for bolt-on installation in Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It is not compatible with standard QO load centers, which require plug-on breakers.
How is the QOB345-1021 secured to the panelboard?
It uses a bolt-on mounting style. This bolted connection fastens directly to the panelboard bus, providing a secure and reliable contact that is ideal for commercial or industrial environments prone to vibration.
How can I tell if the QOB345-1021 has tripped?
This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit, a highly visible red indicator appears in the window, allowing for quick identification of the faulted circuit.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism operate on this breaker?
The thermal-magnetic system provides two types of protection. The thermal component provides a long-time delay to handle mild, temporary overloads, while the magnetic component provides an instantaneous trip to quickly clear severe short circuits.
Is the QOB345-1021 interchangeable with a standard QO345?
No. While both are 45A, 3-pole breakers, the QOB345-1021 is a bolt-on breaker for NQ and NQOD panelboards and includes a shunt trip accessory. A standard QO345 is a plug-on breaker without a shunt trip and is intended for QO load centers.
Is the QOB345-1021 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with compatible heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
