Product FAQs

6 answers
How many panel spaces does the QOB230-1021 require?

This breaker requires three panel spaces. While it is a 2-pole breaker, the factory-installed shunt trip accessory occupies one additional pole space in the panelboard.

What does the -1021 suffix indicate on this QOB circuit breaker?

The -1021 suffix signifies that the breaker is equipped with a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip. This accessory allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via an external control signal, which is commonly used for emergency stops or automated control systems.

Can I install the QOB230-1021 in a standard QO load center?

No. The QOB230-1021 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed exclusively for Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. For a standard plug-on QO load center, you would need the QO230-1021 instead.

What wire sizes are compatible with the terminals on this 30A breaker?

The pressure plate terminals are rated for both aluminum and copper conductors, accepting wire sizes from 14 AWG to 8 AWG.

How can I visually verify if the QOB230-1021 has tripped?

This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent, short circuit, or a remote shunt trip signal, the handle moves to the center position and a highly visible red indicator appears in a small window.

Is the QOB230-1021 rated for direct current (DC) applications?

Yes. In addition to its standard AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for use on 48VDC systems with a 5 kAIC interrupting capacity.

    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.
