Part of the renowned QO family, the Square D QOB145 is a 45A, 1-pole miniature circuit breaker. It delivers reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for commercial and industrial electrical systems. Designed for a secure fit, this breaker bolts into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. The bolt-on mounting style guarantees a tight connection that resists loosening over time in high-vibration environments.
Can I install the QOB145 in a standard QO load center?
No. The QOB145 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed for NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard QO load centers require plug-on QO breakers, not bolt-on QOB types.
What is the recommended lug torque for the QOB145?
The box lugs on the QOB145 should be torqued to 44.3 lb-in (5 N.m) for 8-2 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
Does the QOB145 feature a Visi-Trip indicator?
Yes. Like most QO and QOB breakers, it includes a Visi-Trip indicator that displays a highly visible red flag when the breaker has tripped, making it easy to identify the faulted circuit in a crowded panel.
Is there a version of this 45A 1-pole breaker with a higher interrupting rating?
Yes. While the standard QOB145 is rated for 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, you can use the QHB145 for applications requiring a 65kAIC rating.
Is a 45A 1-pole breaker a standard size?
While 45A is an uncommon amperage for a 1-pole breaker, it is a standard factory rating manufactured by Square D for specific equipment loads that require exactly 45 amps of overcurrent protection on a single 120V leg.

One customer experienced difficulty with order cancellation and was charged a restocking fee, which caused dissatisfaction.
