Built for commercial and industrial applications, the Square D Q1L380 is a 3-pole, 80A unit-mount circuit breaker. It operates at 240VAC with a 10kAIC rating, providing standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. This legacy Q-frame breaker installs into Q1L enclosures and OEM panels using factory-installed feed-thru lugs. It accepts 4-2/0 AWG wire and is officially replaced by the modern QOU380. The unit features a Visi-Trip indicator and is HACR rated for HVAC equipment.
What enclosures or panels is the Q1L380 circuit breaker compatible with?
The Q1L380 is designed for use in legacy Square D Q1L enclosures and compatible OEM panels that accept unit mount, feed-thru Q-frame breakers.
How does the Q1L380 mount into a panel?
This is a unit mount circuit breaker with a feed-thru connection. It does not plug onto a busbar. Instead, it mounts directly to the enclosure or panel backpan and uses wire lugs at both the line and load ends.
What wire size is accepted by the terminals on the Q1L380?
The factory installed lugs on this breaker accept aluminum or copper wire ranging from 4 AWG to 2/0 AWG.
What type of trip mechanism does the Square D Q1L380 use?
It features a thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic elements, providing long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection against overloads and short circuits.
Can the Q1L380 be used in 480V systems?
No, this breaker is rated for a maximum of 240VAC and cannot be used in 480V applications. It provides an interrupting capacity of 10kA at 240V.
Is the Q1L380 a current production breaker?
The Q1L series is a legacy frame from Square D. While original Q1L breakers are often sourced for direct replacements in existing enclosures, modern equivalents like the QOU series are typically used for new installations or retrofits.
