Built specifically for automated energy management, this 30A remote-controlled breaker is a core component of Powerlink lighting control systems. It installs into Square D Powerlink and NQ panelboards, combining standard thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection with motorized switching functionality. This allows facility managers to schedule lighting and mechanical loads efficiently. The unit includes the standard Visi-Trip indicator and carries a 10kA interrupting rating at 120/240VAC.
What panelboards are compatible with the QOB130AS?
This breaker is designed for use in Square D NQ panelboards and Powerlink lighting control panelboards. It requires a bolt-on connection to the bus bar.
What does the AS suffix mean on the QOB130AS?
The AS suffix indicates that this is a remotely operated circuit breaker built for the Square D Powerlink AS lighting control system. It combines standard thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection with remote switching capabilities.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on this breaker?
The pressure plate terminals accommodate 14 AWG to 8 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.
Is the QOB130AS rated for 22kAIC systems?
No, this breaker has a maximum interrupting rating of 10kA at 120/240VAC. If your system requires a 22kAIC rating, you will need a high-interrupting breaker like the QOB130VH.
Can I use this bolt-on breaker in a standard QO plug-on load center?
No, QOB breakers feature a bolt-on connection and will not fit in standard QO plug-on load centers. They must be installed in compatible bolt-on panelboards like the NQ series.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit function on this breaker?
The fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit provides two levels of protection: a long-time delay to prevent nuisance tripping on mild overloads, and an instantaneous trip to quickly clear severe short circuits.
