Product FAQs

7 answers
What does the -1021 suffix mean on the QOB260-1021 circuit breaker?

The -1021 suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by applying voltage to the shunt trip coil, which is commonly used for emergency stops or automated control systems.

Can I install the QOB2601021 in a standard residential QO load center?

No, this is a bolt-on (QOB) breaker designed specifically for commercial NQ and legacy NQOD panelboards. Standard residential QO load centers require plug-on breakers and will not accept bolt-on models.

How does the bolt-on mounting of the QOB2601021 differ from standard plug-on breakers?

Unlike plug-on breakers that snap onto the bus bar, this bolt-on breaker physically screws into the bus bar of NQ or NQOD panelboards. This provides a more secure, vibration-resistant connection typically required in commercial and industrial applications.

Is the QOB260-1021 suitable for DC control circuits?

Yes, in addition to its standard AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for 48VDC applications, making it suitable for certain DC control or battery systems where a 5kA interrupting capacity is sufficient.

What type of wire and gauge is required for the QOB2601021?

The box lug terminals on this 60A breaker are rated for both aluminum and copper conductors. They accept wire sizes ranging from 8 AWG up to 2 AWG.

Are QOB2601021 and QOB260-1021 interchangeable part numbers?

Yes, they are the exact same product. The hyphen is often omitted in distributor databases or on packaging, but both refer to the 60A, 2-pole bolt-on breaker equipped with a 120/240VAC shunt trip.

How can I tell if the QOB260-1021 has tripped remotely via the shunt trip?

This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. Whether it trips from an overcurrent event or a remote shunt trip command, the handle will snap to a center position and a bright red indicator will appear in the window for easy identification.

    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.
