Product FAQs
6 answersCan I install the QO280VH in a Square D Homeline panel?
No. QO and Homeline circuit breakers are not interchangeable due to different physical dimensions. The QO280VH is designed exclusively for Square D QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and NQOD panelboards.
What does the VH suffix mean in the QO280VH part number?
The VH suffix indicates a higher interrupting rating of 22kA at 120/240VAC. Standard QO breakers without this suffix typically feature a standard 10kA interrupting rating.
How many panel spaces does this 2-pole breaker require?
The QO280VH requires two standard 3/4-inch spaces in a compatible QO load center or panelboard, taking up 1.5 inches of total width.
Does this breaker include the Square D Visi-Trip indicator?
Yes. It features the signature Visi-Trip window, which displays a highly visible red indicator when the breaker trips, allowing for quick identification of a faulted circuit in the panel.
Is the QO280VH suitable for protecting HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires branch circuit protection.
What type of wire connections does this breaker use?
It is equipped with standard box lugs that accept 4 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wiring. Ensure you follow the manufacturer torque specifications printed directly on the breaker during installation.
