Part of the QOU series, this 3-pole 30A miniature circuit breaker provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for commercial applications. It features a 10kAIC rating at 240VAC and includes Square D's Visi-Trip indicator for quick fault identification. Designed for installation flexibility, the unit mounts onto standard DIN rails or inside OEM control panels. This specific model includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip accessory, allowing for remote tripping of the circuit.
What does the 1021 suffix mean in the QOU3301021 catalog number?
The 1021 suffix indicates that this circuit breaker includes a factory-installed 120, 208, or 240 VAC shunt trip accessory.
How many pole spaces does the QOU3301021 require in a panel?
Although it is a 3-pole circuit breaker, the factory-installed shunt trip accessory requires an additional pole space. This means the breaker will occupy four pole spaces in total.
Can I add a shunt trip to a standard QOU breaker in the field?
No. Shunt trips for QOU circuit breakers must be factory-installed. If your application requires a shunt trip, you must order a breaker with the appropriate suffix, such as the QOU3301021.
What wire sizes are accepted by the shunt trip terminals on this breaker?
The shunt trip terminals on QOU breakers accept two 14 to 12 AWG copper wires. The hot and neutral wires can be connected to either terminal.
Can the QOU3301021 be mounted on a DIN rail?
Yes, QOU unit-mount circuit breakers are designed for flexible installation. They can be DIN rail-mounted, surface-mounted, or flush-mounted in OEM and control panels.
How can I easily identify if the QOU3301021 has tripped?
This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator, which provides a highly visible red flag to help you quickly spot a tripped circuit breaker in a crowded control panel.
Does this breaker feature a common trip mechanism?
Yes, QOU multi-pole circuit breakers feature a single handle with an internal common trip mechanism. This ensures all poles open simultaneously during an overcurrent or short circuit event.
What is the difference between Square D QO and QOU circuit breakers?
QO breakers are designed to be installed in Square D load centers and panelboards. QOU breakers, like the QOU3301021, are unit-mount, cable-in and cable-out breakers designed for OEM applications, control panels, and DIN rail mounting.
