Designed for specialized commercial applications, the QOB320SWN provides thermal-magnetic protection while simultaneously switching the grounded neutral conductor. This 3-pole, 20A breaker is part of the Square D QO family. It installs into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards using a secure bolt-on connection. The panel neutral connection utilizes the built-in pigtail lead. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, this switch neutral breaker ensures compliance with NEC requirements.
What does the SWN suffix indicate on the QOB320SWN?
The SWN suffix designates this as a Switched Neutral circuit breaker. It is engineered to simultaneously open the grounded neutral conductor along with the ungrounded conductors, a feature required by NEC Article 514.11 for specialized commercial applications like fuel dispensing equipment.
How many panel spaces does the QOB320SWN occupy?
This 3-pole breaker requires three spaces in a Square D NQ or NQOD panelboard. It is designed for a 3-wire 120/240VAC circuit, utilizing two poles for the hot legs and the third pole to switch the neutral.
How is the neutral connection made to the panelboard?
The QOB320SWN features a built-in pigtail wire. This pigtail must be routed and connected directly to the neutral assembly in the NQ or NQOD panelboard to complete the circuit.
Can the QOB320SWN be installed in a standard QO load center?
No. The QOB320SWN features a bolt-on mounting design intended strictly for Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard QO load centers require plug-on style breakers.
Is the QOB320SWN interchangeable with a standard 3-pole QOB320 breaker?
No. While both occupy three spaces, a standard QOB320 is designed for 3-phase systems to switch three hot legs. The QOB320SWN is a switched neutral breaker for 120/240VAC single-phase systems, switching two hot legs and one neutral.
How does the QOB320SWN indicate a tripped condition?
This breaker includes Square D's Visi-Trip visual indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, a red flag appears in the indicator window, allowing electricians to quickly identify the faulted circuit in a crowded panel.
