Product FAQs
7 answersCan I install the QOB160 in a standard Square D QO load center?
No. The QOB160 features a bolt-on connection designed specifically for Square D NQ and legacy NQOD panelboards. Standard QO load centers require plug-on circuit breakers, such as the QO160.
What is the plug-on equivalent to the QOB160?
The Square D QO160 is the direct plug-on equivalent to the bolt-on QOB160. It shares the same 60A rating and thermal-magnetic trip functions but is designed for standard QO load centers.
What wire sizes and types are compatible with the QOB160 terminals?
The box lugs accept 8 AWG to 2 AWG conductors and are dual-rated for both aluminum and copper wire. The manufacturer specified tightening torque for these terminals is 44.3 lb-in (5 N.m).
Is the QOB160 rated for use in DC voltage systems?
Yes. In addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for 48VDC applications with a 5kA interrupting capacity (5kAIC).
Does the QOB160 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker that provides overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include built-in GFCI or AFCI circuitry.
Does this breaker feature a tripped circuit indicator?
Yes, Square D QOB breakers include the Visi-Trip indicator. This provides a clear visual flag on the face of the breaker when it has tripped due to an overcurrent or short-circuit event.
Is the QOB160 HACR rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for group motor applications like heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
