Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards accept the QOB1301021 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is specifically designed for Square D NQ and NQOD series panelboards. It cannot be used in standard QO residential load centers, which require plug-on mounting.
What function does the 1021 suffix provide on this breaker?
The 1021 suffix indicates a factory-installed shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be opened remotely via a 120V to 240V AC control signal, which is commonly used for emergency stops or remote disconnect applications.
Is the QOB1301021 rated for direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, in addition to its 120/240V AC rating, this breaker is rated for 48V DC systems, providing a 5kA interrupting capacity for DC power applications.
How can I visually identify if the QOB1301021 has tripped?
This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When a fault occurs and the breaker trips, a bright red flag appears in the indicator window, making it easy to locate the tripped circuit inside a crowded panelboard.
What type of wire connections does this breaker support?
The breaker uses pressure plate terminals that accommodate 14 AWG to 8 AWG wire. The terminals are rated for both aluminum and copper conductors.
How is the QOB1301021 secured inside the panelboard?
It utilizes a bolt-on mounting style. The breaker physically bolts directly to the panelboard busbar, ensuring a secure and reliable connection that resists vibration in commercial and industrial environments.

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.
