Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the 1021 suffix indicate on the QOB350VH1021 catalog number?
The 1021 suffix signifies that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240V AC shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by an external voltage signal.
What does the VH designation mean in the QOB350VH1021 part number?
The VH indicates a very high interrupting rating. This specific model provides a 22kAIC rating at 120/240V AC, which is higher than the 10kAIC rating found on standard QOB breakers.
Can the QOB350VH1021 be installed in a standard Square D QO residential load center?
No. The QOB series features a bolt-on mounting design intended for commercial NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard QO load centers require plug-on breakers.
How does the QOB350VH1021 connect to the panelboard?
It features a bolt-on connection that secures directly to the busbar using screws. This provides a highly secure mechanical and electrical connection favored in commercial environments, unlike standard plug-on breakers.
What type of protection does the QOB350VH1021 provide?
It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit to provide both long-time overload protection and instantaneous short-circuit protection. The integrated shunt trip also allows for remote emergency shutdown capabilities.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the QOB350VH1021?
The box lugs on this 50A breaker accept either aluminum or copper conductors ranging from 8 AWG to 2 AWG. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
