Product FAQs
7 answersCan I install the QO160 in a Square D Homeline panel?
No. The QO160 is exclusively designed for Square D QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and NQOD panelboards. Homeline panels require Homeline (HOM) series breakers and are not cross-compatible.
How much panel space does the QO160 require?
As a 1-pole breaker in the QO series, it requires a single 3/4-inch space in your load center or panelboard.
Does the QO160 feature a tripped circuit indicator?
Yes, it includes the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, a highly visible red indicator appears, allowing you to quickly identify the tripped circuit in the panel.
Is the QO160 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.
What is the bolt-on equivalent to the QO160?
The bolt-on equivalent for use in NQ and NQOD panelboards is the QOB160. It shares the same electrical specifications but features a bolt-on mounting connection instead of a plug-on connection.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the QO160 box lugs?
The manufacturer specifies a tightening torque of 44.3 lb-in (5 N.m) for the box lugs when securing 8 AWG to 2 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
Does the QO160 provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, the QO160 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker providing standard overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include ground-fault or arc-fault protection.
