Product FAQs
8 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the QOB2100VH1021 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for use in Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It cannot be installed in standard QO load centers, which require plug-on breakers.
What does the 1021 suffix indicate on this Square D breaker?
The 1021 suffix means this circuit breaker comes with a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by applying voltage to the shunt trip coil, which is often required for emergency shutdown systems.
What does the VH stand for in the QOB2100VH1021 catalog number?
The VH designation indicates a higher interrupting capacity. While standard QOB breakers are typically rated at 10kAIC, this VH model provides a 22kAIC interrupting rating at 120/240VAC.
Can the QOB2100VH1021 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC applications with an interrupting rating of 5kAIC at 48VDC.
What is the difference between QO and QOB circuit breakers?
QO circuit breakers use a plug-on mounting mechanism typical in residential load centers. QOB circuit breakers, like the QOB2100VH1021, feature a bolt-on connection designed for commercial and industrial NQ and NQOD panelboards.
How do I know if the QOB2100VH1021 has tripped?
This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overload, short circuit, or a remote shunt trip command, a highly visible red indicator appears in the window to help you quickly identify the tripped breaker in the panel.
What wire sizes and materials are supported by the terminals on this breaker?
The box lug terminals on the QOB2100VH1021 are designed to accept 4 AWG to 2/0 AWG wire. They are compatible with both copper and aluminum conductors.
What type of trip mechanism does the QOB2100VH1021 use?
It utilizes a thermal magnetic trip mechanism with fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions. The thermal element protects against sustained overloads, while the magnetic element responds immediately to short circuits.
