Product FAQs
7 answersWhat does the 1021 suffix mean on this breaker?
The 1021 suffix indicates that this circuit breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240V AC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely using a push button or other pilot device.
How many panel spaces does the QOB250-1021 require?
This 2-pole circuit breaker requires three panel spaces. The factory-installed shunt trip module occupies one additional space alongside the two poles used for standard overcurrent protection.
Can I add a shunt trip to a standard QOB250 breaker in the field?
No. Shunt trips for QO and QOB miniature circuit breakers must be factory-installed. If your application requires remote tripping, you must purchase a breaker with the shunt trip already attached, such as the QOB250-1021.
How do I wire the shunt trip on the QOB250-1021?
The shunt trip module features its own terminals that accept two 14 to 12 AWG copper wires. The hot and neutral control wires can be connected to either terminal to supply the 120V or 240V AC signal required to trip the breaker.
Does this breaker feature a tripped status indicator?
Yes, it includes the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent condition or a shunt trip signal, the handle moves to a center position and a highly visible red flag appears in the indicator window.
Is the QOB250-1021 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this circuit breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires group motor applications.
Can I install this breaker in a standard QO load center?
No. The QOB250-1021 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard QO load centers require plug-on circuit breakers.

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.
