Product FAQs
8 answersWhat is the difference between a standard QOU260 and the QOUQ260?
The QOUQ260 includes factory-installed four-point quick-connect terminals on the load (OFF) end. These accommodate up to four 1/4-inch insulated female quick-connect wire terminations, while the line side retains standard box lugs.
How is the QOUQ260 circuit breaker mounted?
This breaker is a unit-mount design. It can be surface-mounted, flush-mounted, or installed on a standard 35mm DIN rail using the appropriate mounting feet, making it highly versatile for OEM panels and enclosures.
Is the QOUQ260 suitable for use in DC circuits?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for use in both AC and DC electrical systems. It supports up to 48VDC with a 5kA interrupting capacity, providing flexibility for specialized control panels.
What wire sizes are accepted by the line-side terminals on the QOUQ260?
The line-side slotted box lugs accept copper or aluminum wiring ranging from 14 AWG to 2 AWG. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation as specified by the manufacturer.
Does the QOUQ260 feature a visual trip indicator?
Yes, it features the Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, a highly visible red flag appears, allowing for quick identification of the tripped circuit in crowded panels.
Can the QOUQ260 be used for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires reliable overcurrent protection.
What type of protection does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism provide?
The fixed thermal-magnetic trip technology provides dual protection. The thermal element offers long-time protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic element delivers instantaneous protection against short circuits.
Can I use the QOUQ260 to replace a standard QOU260?
Yes, the QOUQ260 shares the exact same physical footprint and electrical ratings as the standard QOU260. However, you must ensure your load-side wiring is compatible with the 1/4-inch quick-connect terminals provided on the QOUQ version.
