Built for applications requiring remote disconnect capabilities, this 50-amp breaker includes a 120/208/240VAC shunt trip accessory. The two-pole bolt-on unit installs into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards, providing a secure connection for commercial and industrial power distribution. With a 22kAIC rating, it handles higher fault currents while utilizing thermal-magnetic trip technology. The signature Visi-Trip red indicator helps maintenance personnel quickly locate tripped circuits.
What does the -1021 suffix mean on the QOB250VH-1021?
The -1021 suffix indicates that this circuit breaker includes a factory-installed 120/208/240V AC shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by applying a voltage signal to the shunt trip coil.
Which panelboards are compatible with the QOB250VH-1021?
This bolt-on circuit breaker is designed exclusively for Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It cannot be installed in standard QO load centers, which require plug-on connections.
What does the VH designation indicate in the QOB250VH-1021 catalog number?
The VH indicates a high interrupting rating. While standard QOB breakers are typically rated at 10kAIC, this VH version provides a 22kAIC interrupting rating at 120/240V AC for systems with higher available fault currents.
How is the shunt trip wired on the QOB250VH-1021?
The factory-installed shunt trip includes its own wiring leads that exit the breaker housing. Applying a 120V to 240V AC signal to these leads energizes the internal coil, mechanically tripping the breaker for emergency stop or control system integration.
Does the QOB250VH-1021 feature a Visi-Trip indicator?
Yes, this breaker includes the Square D Visi-Trip visual indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent condition or a remote shunt trip signal, a red flag appears in the indicator window to help quickly identify the tripped unit in a crowded panelboard.
Is the QOB250VH-1021 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for protecting multi-motor and combination-load heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

Customers say these electrical breakers arrive exactly as ordered and work perfectly for their intended applications. They consistently praise the competitive pricing, which many report is significantly lower than local suppliers.

The breakers arrive well-packaged and in excellent condition. Many reviews emphasize the company's extensive inventory availability, particularly for hard-to-find breakers. One customer experienced difficulty with order cancellation and was charged a restocking fee, which caused dissatisfaction.

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.
