Product FAQs

4 answers
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.
