Part of the QO series, this 50A single-pole miniature circuit breaker delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection for residential and commercial applications. It is engineered to handle standard electrical loads while maintaining a compact 3/4-inch profile. This unit mounts into Square D QO load centers and NQ panelboards. The plug-on design ensures a secure connection, streamlining the installation process. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240V, it includes Square D's signature Visi-Trip indicator.
Can I install this breaker in a Square D Homeline panel?
No. QO series breakers feature a 3/4-inch plug-on design and are not compatible with Homeline load centers, which require a 1-inch wide format.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the load terminal?
The box lug terminal requires a tightening torque of 44.25 lb-in (5 N.m). Always verify torque specifications with the panel label prior to installation.
Is this breaker rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment?
Yes, it carries a HACR rating, making it suitable for branch circuit protection on compatible HVAC equipment.
What is the bolt-on equivalent to this model?
The QOB150 is the bolt-on cross-reference. It features identical electrical characteristics but is designed to bolt directly to the busbar in NQ or NQOD panelboards.
How much panel space does this component require?
It occupies a single 3/4-inch space in a compatible load center or panelboard.
Will this plug-on breaker fit in older NQOD panelboards?
Yes. While designed for modern NQ panels, it is also backwards compatible with legacy NQOD panelboards configured to accept plug-on models.
