Engineered for dependable power distribution, the Square D Q1B380 is a 3-pole, 80A molded case circuit breaker. It provides long-time and instantaneous trip functions for commercial facilities at 240VAC. Designed with a bolt-on mounting style, this unit fits securely into Square D NQOB panelboards. The newer QOB380 can be substituted when paired with an SK5668 mounting kit. Equipped with thermal-magnetic trip technology and a 10kAIC rating, it ensures consistent circuit protection.
Which panelboards accept the Square D Q1B380 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for legacy Square D NQO and NQOB panelboards.
Can a standard QOB breaker directly replace the Q1B380?
No. While a QOB380 can replace a Q1B380 in NQO and NQOB panelboards, it is not a direct drop-in. You must use a Square D SK5668 mounting assembly kit, which includes the necessary bus connectors and screws to adapt the QOB breaker to the legacy Q1B space.
What are the wire size limits for the Q1B380 box lugs?
The terminal lugs accept wire gauges ranging from #4 AWG minimum to 2/0 AWG maximum. Ensure your conductors are sized appropriately for an 80A load per NEC guidelines.
What does the LI trip function code mean on the Q1B380?
The LI designation indicates that the breaker's thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (thermal) overload protection and Instantaneous (magnetic) short-circuit protection. Both settings are fixed on this model.
Can the Q1B380 be used in 480V systems?
No. The Q1B380 has a maximum voltage rating of 240VAC and an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC at 240V. It is not rated for 480V applications.
