Providing advanced control for commercial systems, this 50A miniature circuit breaker includes a factory-installed 120/208/240VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped from a remote location using a separate voltage signal. The three-pole device requires four panel spaces and utilizes a plug-on connection to install into Square D QO load centers and NQ panelboards. Rated for 10kAIC at 240VAC, it features thermal-magnetic protection and the signature Visi-Trip indicator.
What does the 1021 suffix in the QO3501021 part number indicate?
The -1021 suffix means this circuit breaker features a factory-installed 120/208/240VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via a separate control voltage signal.
How many panel spaces does the QO3501021 require?
This unit requires 4 full spaces in a Square D QO load center or NQ panelboard. The standard 3-pole breaker occupies three spaces, while the factory-installed shunt trip module requires one additional pole space.
Is there a bolt-on version of this breaker available?
Yes, if your NQ panelboard requires a bolt-on connection, the direct equivalent is the QOB3501021. It features the same 50A rating, 3-pole configuration, and factory-installed shunt trip, but utilizes bolt-on mounting.
How does the shunt trip module affect standard breaker protection?
The shunt trip does not interfere with the breaker's standard thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits. It simply provides an additional way to manually or automatically open the circuit from a remote location.
How is the shunt trip accessory wired?
The factory-installed shunt trip features its own dedicated terminals for control wiring. You must connect these to a separate 120VAC to 240VAC control power source. Applying the required control voltage will instantly open the breaker contacts.
