Description
Built for commercial lighting applications, the QOB230HID handles specialized high-intensity discharge loads. This two-pole, 30-amp component provides standard thermal-magnetic protection. Installation requires a secure bolt-on connection into Square D NQ or legacy NQOD panelboards. A key advantage is the integrated Visi-Trip indicator, which gives immediate visual confirmation of a tripped state. The HID rating ensures it safely manages high inrush currents typical of commercial fixtures.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhat panelboards accept the QOB230HID circuit breaker?
The QOB230HID is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It cannot be used in standard QO load centers, which require plug-on style breakers.
What does the "HID" suffix indicate on this Square D breaker?
The "HID" suffix indicates the breaker is rated for switching High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting loads, such as metal halide or high-pressure sodium fixtures. It is built with larger contacts to handle high inductive loads and starting inrush currents without nuisance tripping.
Can the QOB230HID replace a standard QOB230 breaker?
Yes, QOB-HID breakers are physically interchangeable with standard QOB breakers. They fit in the same panel space and accept the same QO accessories, while offering the upgraded contacts required for frequent switching of heavy lighting loads.
Does the QOB230HID include a tripped circuit indicator?
Yes, this breaker includes the Square D Visi-Trip feature. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, a red indicator appears in the window to help quickly identify the faulted circuit in the panelboard.
What type of wire connections does the QOB230HID use?
This breaker is equipped with pressure plate terminals that accept 14 AWG to 8 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. Always torque the terminal screws to the specifications listed on the breaker label to ensure a safe and compliant connection.
