Built for commercial and industrial control applications, this 125-amp miniature breaker includes a factory-installed shunt trip mechanism for remote opening of the circuit. The unit mounts securely into Square D QO load centers, as well as NQ and NQOD panelboards, providing versatile integration for complex electrical systems. Facility managers can rely on the integrated Visi-Trip indicator to quickly identify tripped status, streamlining maintenance and minimizing downtime during power events.
What does the -1021 suffix mean on the QO2125-1021 circuit breaker?
The -1021 suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240V AC shunt trip mechanism. This accessory allows the breaker to be opened remotely using an external control signal.
Which electrical panels are compatible with the QO2125-1021?
This plug-on breaker fits Square D QO load centers, as well as NQ and NQOD panelboards. Before installation, verify that your specific panel bus is rated to accept a 125A branch breaker, as some smaller load centers have lower maximum branch limits.
Can I install this QO breaker in a bolt-on panelboard?
No, the QO2125-1021 features a plug-on mounting style. If your panel requires bolt-on connections, you will need to source the equivalent QOB series circuit breaker instead.
How do I identify if the QO2125-1021 has tripped?
Like most Square D QO miniature circuit breakers, this model features a Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or a shunt trip signal, the handle moves to a center position and a bright red flag appears in the indicator window.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on this 125A breaker?
The box lugs accommodate 4 AWG to 2/0 AWG wire. They are rated for both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) conductors. When using aluminum wire, applying a listed joint compound is recommended to prevent oxidation.
Is the shunt trip on the QO2125-1021 field-installable?
No, the 120/240V AC shunt trip on this specific model is factory-installed. Square D does not offer field-installable shunt trips for standard QO miniature circuit breakers.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism protect the circuit?
The breaker uses fixed Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip functions. The thermal component provides delayed tripping for prolonged overloads, while the magnetic component trips instantaneously to protect against severe short circuits.
Does the QO2125-1021 require any special mounting hardware?
No special hardware is required for standard installation. It utilizes a standard plug-on mounting design that snaps directly into the bus bar of compatible QO, NQ, or NQOD panels.
