Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards and load centers are compatible with the QO145?
This breaker installs in Square D QO load centers, as well as NQ and NQOD panelboards. It is not compatible with Homeline (HOM) load centers.
Can the QO145 be installed in a bolt-on panelboard?
No, this is a plug-on breaker. For bolt-on applications in NQ or NQOD panelboards, you must use the QOB equivalent, catalog number QOB145.
Does the QO145 include a tripped breaker indicator?
Yes, standard QO breakers feature the Visi-Trip indicator. A highly visible red flag appears in the window when the breaker has tripped, allowing for quick fault identification.
Is the QO145 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific rating.
Does this breaker require a plug-on neutral panel?
No, the QO145 is a standard thermal magnetic breaker, not a GFCI or AFCI breaker. It does not require a neutral connection to the breaker itself and can be installed in both standard and plug-on neutral panels.
Will this breaker fit in a tandem or space-saver slot?
No, the QO145 is a standard full-size, single-pole breaker that requires one full 0.75-inch space in the panel. Square D does not manufacture 45A tandem breakers.
