Product FAQs
7 answersWhat does the -1021 suffix mean on this Square D breaker?
The -1021 suffix indicates that the breaker includes a factory-installed shunt trip rated for 120V, 208V, or 240V AC. This allows the circuit to be opened remotely using a control signal.
How much panel space does the QOU260-1021 require?
This breaker requires three pole spaces, totaling 2.25 inches in width. The 60A breaker utilizes two poles, and the factory-installed shunt trip requires one additional pole space.
Can I field-install a shunt trip on a standard QOU260 breaker?
No. Square D QOU shunt trips must be factory-installed. If your application requires remote tripping capabilities, you must purchase a breaker with the shunt trip already integrated, such as the QOU260-1021.
How do I wire the shunt trip module on the QOU260-1021?
The shunt trip terminals accept up to two 14 AWG to 12 AWG copper wires. The hot and neutral control wires are not polarity sensitive and can be connected to either terminal on the shunt trip module.
How is the QOU260-1021 mounted in an enclosure?
As a unit-mount breaker, it does not plug onto a busbar. It can be surface-mounted, flush-mounted, or attached to a standard DIN rail using compatible Square D mounting foot adapters.
What applications are QOU breakers typically used for?
QOU unit-mount circuit breakers are cable-in and cable-out devices ideal for OEM applications, control panels, and custom enclosures where a traditional load center busbar is not available.
Does this breaker include a tripped circuit indicator?
Yes, this model features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, a highly visible red indicator appears to help you quickly identify the faulted circuit.
