The QO3701021 is a 3-pole, 70A miniature circuit breaker built for commercial applications. It features a factory-installed 120/208/240VAC shunt trip, allowing the unit to be tripped remotely. This plug-on breaker mounts into Square D QO load centers and NQ panelboards. It accepts 8-2 AWG copper or aluminum wiring through standard box lug terminals. Rated for 10kAIC at 240VAC, it utilizes thermal-magnetic trip technology. It includes the Visi-Trip indicator and is HACR rated.
What does the 1021 suffix indicate on the QO3701021 part number?
The 1021 suffix designates a factory-installed shunt trip accessory. This allows the circuit breaker to be tripped remotely via a separate control circuit operating at 120V, 208V, or 240V AC.
How many panel spaces are required to install this breaker?
The QO3701021 requires four total pole spaces in your load center or panelboard. The 3-pole breaker occupies three spaces, and the factory-installed shunt trip accessory requires one additional space.
Is this breaker compatible with Square D Homeline load centers?
No. QO series breakers have a specific plug-on mounting clip that is not compatible with Homeline panels. This unit is strictly for use in Square D QO load centers and NQ panelboards.
Can I field-install an auxiliary switch or alarm contact on this unit?
No. Square D QO miniature circuit breakers can only accommodate one accessory at a time. Since this model comes with a factory-installed shunt trip, no additional electrical accessories can be added.
Does this circuit breaker include the Visi-Trip feature?
Yes. It features the standard Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or shunt trip activation, the handle snaps to a center position and a bright red flag appears in the indicator window.
Is this breaker suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated. It is certified for use with multi-motor and combination loads typically found in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems.
Does a fault on one phase trip all three poles simultaneously?
Yes. This is a common trip breaker. An overcurrent or short circuit condition on any single pole, or activation of the shunt trip, will cause the internal mechanism to open all three poles at the same time.
