Built to provide comprehensive combination arc fault protection, the QOB115CAFI is a 1-pole, 15A bolt-on circuit breaker by Square D. It installs into NQ and NQOD series panelboards, making it ideal for commercial and industrial lighting or receptacle circuits. Rated at 10kAIC at 120VAC, this unit features a pigtail neutral connection, Time Saver Diagnostics, and the signature Visi-Trip indicator to easily spot tripped circuits. It is HACR and SWD rated for versatile application.
Can I install the QOB115CAFI in a standard QO load center?
No. The QOB115CAFI is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for NQ and NQOD panelboards. For a standard QO load center, you need the plug-on equivalent, catalog number QO115CAFI.
What does the CAFI designation mean on this breaker?
CAFI stands for Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter. It provides protection against both parallel and series arc faults, meeting modern National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for residential and commercial arc fault protection.
How is the neutral wired on the QOB115CAFI?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the panelboard neutral bar to power the internal arc fault circuitry.
Can I use this single-pole AFCI on a multi-wire branch circuit with a shared neutral?
No. Single-pole AFCI breakers monitor the balance between the hot and neutral conductors. Using a shared neutral will cause nuisance tripping. For multi-wire branch circuits, you must use a two-pole AFCI breaker, such as the QOB215CAFI.
How can I tell if the QOB115CAFI has tripped?
This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, the handle moves to a center position and a highly visible red indicator appears, making it easy to identify the tripped circuit in a crowded panelboard.
Does this breaker include ground fault protection?
No. The QOB115CAFI is a Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFI) only. If your application requires both arc fault and ground fault protection, you will need a Dual Function (DF) breaker, such as the QOB115DF.
Is this breaker suitable for systems requiring a 22kAIC rating?
No. The QOB115CAFI has a maximum interrupting rating of 10kAIC at 120V. If your system requires a 22kAIC rating, you must use the high-interrupting version, catalog number QOB115VHCAFI.
