Product FAQs
7 answers
Can I install the QO220VH in a Homeline load center?
No, Square D QO series breakers are not interchangeable with Homeline panels. The QO220VH is designed exclusively for QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and NQOD panelboards.
What does the "VH" stand for in the QO220VH catalog number?
The "VH" suffix indicates a high interrupting capacity. While standard QO breakers have a 10 kAIC rating, the QO220VH is rated for 22 kAIC at 120/240V AC.
Is the QO220VH circuit breaker HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific listing.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the pressure plate terminals on the QO220VH?
The manufacturer specifies a tightening torque of 40.7 lb-in (4.6 N.m) for the pressure plate terminals.
Does this breaker feature a Visi-Trip indicator?
Yes, it includes the Square D Visi-Trip visual indicator, which displays a highly visible red flag when the breaker has tripped.
Can I use the QO220VH to replace a standard QO220 breaker?
Yes. The QO220VH shares the same physical dimensions and mounting style as the standard QO220 but offers a higher 22 kAIC interrupting rating, making it a safe and direct upgrade where higher fault current protection is required.
Does the QO220VH provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. It provides overload and short-circuit protection but does not include Ground Fault (GFCI) or Arc Fault (AFCI) circuitry.
