Built for commercial and industrial applications, the Square D QOB125 is a single-pole, 25-amp miniature circuit breaker. It delivers dependable thermal-magnetic protection for standard branch circuits. This device mounts into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards using a secure bolt-on connection. The pressure plate terminals accommodate 14-8 AWG aluminum or copper wire. Rated at 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, this HACR-rated breaker includes the Visi-Trip indicator to easily spot tripped circuits.
Can I install the QOB125 circuit breaker in a standard QO load center?
No. The QOB125 features a bolt-on connection designed specifically for commercial and industrial Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard residential QO load centers require plug-on circuit breakers.
What is the recommended terminal torque for wiring the QOB125?
The pressure plate terminals on the QOB125 should be torqued to 35.4 lb-in (4 N.m) when using properly sized 14-8 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
Does the QOB125 miniature circuit breaker include a Visi-Trip indicator?
Yes, standard QOB breakers feature the Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, the handle snaps to a midpoint position and a highly visible red flag appears to help quickly identify the faulted circuit.
Is there a 25A 1-pole bolt-on breaker with a higher interrupting rating than the QOB125?
Yes. If your panelboard requires a higher short-circuit current rating than the 10kAIC provided by the standard QOB125, you can use the QOB125VH for 22kAIC or the QHB125 for 65kAIC at 120/240VAC.
How does the thermal magnetic trip mechanism in the QOB125 function?
The thermal magnetic (LI) mechanism provides two levels of protection. The long-time thermal component protects against sustained overloads by heating up and bending a bimetallic strip, while the instantaneous magnetic component trips immediately in the presence of a severe short circuit.

Customers say these electrical breakers arrive exactly as ordered and work perfectly for their intended applications. They consistently praise the competitive pricing, which many report is significantly lower than local suppliers. Fast shipping and prompt delivery are frequently highlighted, with many receiving orders within days or even next-day delivery for urgent needs. The breakers arrive well-packaged and in excellent condition. Many reviews emphasize the company's extensive inventory availability, particularly for hard-to-find breakers. One customer experienced difficulty with order cancellation and was charged a restocking fee, which caused dissatisfaction.
