Tailored for applications requiring complete circuit isolation, the QO320SWN simultaneously disconnects two hot legs and the neutral conductor. This 20A plug-on breaker fits standard QO load centers and NQ panelboards, occupying three spaces. The switched neutral functionality is frequently utilized in fuel dispensing stations and specific commercial equipment setups to meet stringent safety codes.
What is the purpose of the switched neutral feature on the QO320SWN?
The switched neutral simultaneously disconnects two hot legs and the neutral conductor. This provides complete circuit isolation, which is often required by safety codes for specific applications like fuel dispensing stations and certain commercial equipment.
How many panel spaces does this breaker require?
As a 3-pole breaker, it occupies three standard spaces in a compatible Square D QO load center or NQ panelboard.
Can I install this breaker in a Square D Homeline panel?
No. QO series breakers have a specific plug-on mounting design that is not interchangeable with Homeline panels. It must be installed in a QO load center or NQ panelboard.
Do I need special terminals to use aluminum wire with this breaker?
No special terminals are required. The factory-installed pressure plate terminals are dual-rated for both aluminum and copper conductors, accepting wire sizes from 14 AWG up to 8 AWG.
How does the Visi-Trip indicator work on this model?
When the breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit, a red visual indicator appears in the window. This allows electricians to quickly identify the tripped breaker in a crowded panel.
What does the LI trip function indicate?
The LI code stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The thermal-magnetic mechanism provides Long-Time protection against sustained overloads and Instantaneous protection against sudden short circuits.
Is this breaker rated for commercial use?
Yes, the QO320SWN is commonly used in commercial and industrial settings that require a switched neutral for safety compliance. It carries a 10kA interrupting rating at 120/240V AC.
Why choose a plug-on breaker over a bolt-on breaker for this application?
Plug-on breakers like the QO320SWN allow for faster installation and replacement in QO load centers and NQ panelboards compared to bolt-on alternatives, while still providing a secure, reliable connection to the busbar.
