Designed specifically for Square D NQ and legacy NQOD panelboards, this 80-amp miniature breaker offers dependable thermal-magnetic trip functionality. The secure bolt-on mechanism guarantees a tight connection to the bus, making it ideal for industrial and commercial facilities. Equipped with the highly visible Visi-Trip red indicator flag, it simplifies troubleshooting by clearly showing when a fault has occurred, while maintaining a standard 10kAIC rating for everyday branch circuit needs.
Can I install the QOB280 in a standard Square D QO residential load center?
No. The QOB280 features a bolt-on connection designed specifically for commercial Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard QO load centers require plug-on circuit breakers.
How much physical space does the QOB280 take up in a panelboard?
This two-pole breaker requires two standard panel spaces. It measures 1.5 inches in total width, with each pole occupying 0.75 inches.
Does the QOB280 provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker equipped with fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions for standard overcurrent and short-circuit protection only.
How does the LI trip function on this breaker operate?
The long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip unit offers dual-level protection. The thermal long-time component responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic instantaneous component reacts immediately to clear short circuits.

Customers say these electrical breakers arrive exactly as ordered and work perfectly for their intended applications. They consistently praise the competitive pricing, which many report is significantly lower than local suppliers.
