Square D QO130PL Miniature Circuit Breaker

The QO130PL is a Powerlink remotely operated circuit breaker. It features an internal 24Vdc motor mechanism designed for automated lighting control systems, energy management panels, and remote switching applications in QO load centers and NQ or NQOD panelboards.

The motorized mechanism requires a 24Vdc power supply capable of delivering at least 2 amps for a minimum of 50 milliseconds. The breaker includes an 18-inch factory-installed control wire lead for connecting to the low-voltage lighting controller or control bus.

No. When the QO130PL is switched on or off via the remote 24Vdc control, the internal motor opens or closes the high-current contacts, but the physical breaker handle remains in the ON position.

No. If the breaker trips due to an overcurrent event, the handle moves to the tripped position and the remote control cannot turn the power back on. The breaker must be manually reset at the panel before remote operation can resume.

Yes. The QO130PL functions as a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker for overload and short-circuit protection. If the low-voltage control wires are not connected, it can be operated manually using the handle just like a conventional QO breaker.

This breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 30A, 1-pole circuit, provided the equipment manufacturer allows standard thermal-magnetic protection.

Yes. Square D Powerlink breakers like the QO130PL are the standard hardware platform used in LynTec LCP, RPC, and narrow profile motorized lighting control panels. Note that LynTec-supplied versions often feature custom 60-inch control leads instead of the standard 18-inch leads.
