Providing essential overcurrent protection for residential and commercial spaces, this 30A, 2-pole device operates at 120/240VAC. It utilizes proven thermal-magnetic trip technology to safeguard electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Compatibility includes a wide range of Square D infrastructure. The unit mounts seamlessly into QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and NQOD enclosures, accepting 14-8 AWG wire sizes via pressure plate terminals.
Can I install the QO230 in a Square D Homeline load center?
No. Square D QO circuit breakers have a 3/4-inch format and are not interchangeable with Homeline breakers, which use a 1-inch format. The QO230 is only compatible with QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and NQOD panelboards.
Does this breaker work in a QOB bolt-on panelboard?
No. The QO230 is a plug-on breaker. If your commercial panelboard requires bolt-on connections to the bus, you will need to source the QOB230 equivalent.
What is required if I want to use the QO230 as a back-fed main breaker?
When installing the QO230 as a back-fed main breaker in a QO load center, electrical codes require a retaining bracket to secure it to the interior. You will need to install a retaining kit, such as the Square D PK2MB, to prevent the breaker from being accidentally removed from the bus.
Is the QO230 suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with dedicated HVAC and refrigeration motor loads that require this specific safety certification.
Can this miniature circuit breaker be used for DC voltage applications?
Yes, the QO230 is rated for DC applications up to 48VDC with an interrupting capacity of 5kA, in addition to its standard 120/240VAC ratings.
How can I easily identify if this breaker has tripped in the panel?
This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit, a highly visible red flag appears in the indicator window, allowing for fast identification of the faulted circuit without guessing.
