Built to handle standard commercial loads, this 20-amp, three-pole unit offers reliable thermal-magnetic protection with a 10kA interrupting capacity. The robust construction includes the signature Visi-Trip indicator, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly spot tripped circuits. It fastens securely into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards via a sturdy bolt-on connection. This HACR-rated component is suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.
Can I install the QOB320 in a standard Square D residential load center?
No. The QOB320 is a bolt-on breaker designed exclusively for commercial NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard residential load centers require plug-on QO series breakers.
Are the QOB320 and QO320 interchangeable?
No. While both are 3-pole, 20-amp breakers with identical thermal-magnetic trip characteristics, the QOB320 mounts via a bolted connection. The QO320 snaps into place and is used in plug-on load centers. You must match the mounting style exactly to your panel's requirements.
How does the QOB320 connect to the panelboard bus?
It uses a captive screw to bolt directly to the panelboard busbar. This permanent connection method ensures a tight, reliable fit that resists loosening in commercial and industrial environments where vibration is common.
Is this circuit breaker HACR rated?
Yes, the QOB320 carries an HACR rating, making it approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires group motor protection.
Can I use the QOB320 for switching fluorescent lighting circuits?
No, this 3-pole breaker does not carry a Switching Duty (SWD) rating. SWD ratings are specifically limited to 15-amp and 20-amp single-pole QO and QOB circuit breakers.
Does the QOB320 feature a tripped circuit indicator?
Yes, it includes Square D's Visi-Trip technology. When an overcurrent or short circuit causes the breaker to trip, the handle rests in a center position and a bright red flag appears in the indicator window, allowing electricians to quickly identify the faulted circuit.
Does a fault on one phase trip all three poles?
Yes, the QOB320 utilizes a common trip mechanism. If an overload or short circuit occurs on any single phase, the internal trip bar simultaneously opens all three poles to prevent dangerous single-phasing of three-phase equipment.

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. Fast shipping and prompt delivery are frequently highlighted, with many receiving orders within days or even next-day delivery for urgent needs. The breakers arrive well-packaged and in excellent condition. Many reviews emphasize the company's extensive inventory availability, particularly for hard-to-find breakers. One customer experienced difficulty with order cancellation and was charged a restocking fee, which caused dissatisfaction.
