Product FAQs
7 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the QOB390VH1021?
This bolt-on miniature circuit breaker is designed specifically for use in Square D NQ and NQOD series panelboards.
How many panel spaces does the QOB390VH1021 require?
It requires four pole spaces in the panelboard. The 3-pole breaker itself occupies three spaces, and the factory-installed shunt trip accessory requires one additional space.
What does the 1021 suffix indicate on this Square D breaker?
The 1021 suffix means this breaker comes equipped with a factory-installed 120/208/240VAC shunt trip accessory, which allows the circuit to be opened remotely for emergency shutdown or control schemes.
What does the VH designation mean in the QOB390VH1021 part number?
The VH indicates a high interrupting rating. While standard QOB breakers are typically rated at 10kAIC, this model handles up to 22kAIC at 120/240VAC, providing enhanced protection against higher fault currents.
How can I tell if this breaker has tripped?
It features Square D's Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, the handle snaps to a midpoint position and a highly visible red flag appears in the window, allowing for rapid fault identification in a crowded panel.
How does this breaker connect to the panel bus?
It utilizes a bolt-on connection, meaning it fastens directly to the panelboard bus bar with screws. This provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection ideal for commercial and industrial environments.
Can I use this to replace a standard QOB390?
No, they are not direct physical drop-ins. While both are 90A 3-pole breakers, the QOB390VH1021 requires four panel spaces due to the factory-installed shunt trip, whereas a standard QOB390 only requires three spaces.
