Product FAQs

6 answers
What is the difference between the Square D QO120 and the QO120VH?

The "VH" suffix indicates a higher interrupting rating. The QO120VH is rated for 22kAIC at 120/240VAC, while the standard QO120 is rated for 10kAIC. Both are 20A, 1-pole breakers that fit the same panels.

Can I install the QO120VH in a Square D Homeline panel?

No. QO series breakers, including the QO120VH, are not interchangeable with Homeline (HOM) breakers. This breaker is designed exclusively for QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and legacy NQOD panelboards.

What is the recommended terminal torque for the QO120VH circuit breaker?

The pressure plate terminals on the QO120VH should be torqued to 40.7 lb-in (4.6 N.m) for secure connections with 14 to 8 AWG copper or aluminum wire.

Is the QO120VH rated for switching fluorescent lighting loads?

Yes, this breaker is SWD (Switching Duty) rated, making it suitable for the daily switching of 120V fluorescent lighting circuits.

Does the QO120VH carry an HACR rating for HVAC equipment?

Yes, it is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires HACR type circuit breakers.

How can I tell if the QO120VH has tripped?

This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit, the handle moves to a center position and a highly visible red indicator appears in a small window.
