Description
Built for specialized lighting applications, the QOB215HID features a High Intensity Discharge (HID) rating. This allows the 15-amp, two-pole unit to safely manage the significant inrush currents generated by HID lighting systems without experiencing nuisance tripping. The device mounts into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards using a secure bolt-on connection that ensures reliable power delivery. It accepts 14-8 AWG aluminum or copper wire through standard pressure plate terminals.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersCan the QOB215HID be installed in a standard Square D QO load center?
No. The QOB215HID is a QOB-series breaker, which utilizes a bolt-on connection designed specifically for commercial NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard QO load centers require plug-on breakers and will not accept bolt-on models.
What does the HID suffix indicate on the QOB215HID breaker?
The HID (High Intensity Discharge) designation means this breaker is engineered to manage the significant inrush currents typical of commercial HID lighting systems. This specialized construction prevents nuisance tripping when powering up large lighting banks.
How does the Visi-Trip feature work on the QOB215HID?
This breaker includes Square D's Visi-Trip indicator, which displays a highly visible red flag when the breaker has tripped. This allows electricians and facility managers to quickly identify the tripped circuit within a crowded NQ or NQOD panelboard.
Can the QOB215HID be used for switching duty applications?
Yes. Breakers carrying the HID (High Intensity Discharge) rating are approved for switching duty, meaning they can be safely used to manually turn commercial lighting circuits on and off on a regular basis without damaging the breaker mechanism.
Is there a plug-on equivalent to the QOB215HID?
Yes. If you are installing into a standard residential QO load center rather than a commercial NQ or NQOD panelboard, you will need the QO215HID. It offers the same 15-amp, 2-pole HID-rated protection but features a plug-on mounting style.
