Built for commercial applications, the Square D QOB215EPD is a 2-pole, 15A equipment protection device. It provides 30mA Class B ground fault sensing to shield machinery. This bolt-on breaker mounts into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It features pressure plate terminals accepting 14-8 AWG copper or 12-8 AWG aluminum wire. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, it utilizes thermal-magnetic trip technology. The Visi-Trip indicator allows users to quickly identify tripped circuits.
What is the difference between this EPD breaker and a standard GFCI breaker?
The QOB215EPD is an Equipment Protection Device (EPD) that trips at a 30mA ground fault threshold to protect machinery and equipment, such as heat trace cables. Standard GFCI (or GFI) breakers trip at a 5mA threshold to provide personnel protection.
Can I install the QOB215EPD in a standard QO residential load center?
No. The QOB215EPD features a bolt-on mounting design intended for commercial NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard QO load centers require plug-on breakers.
How is the neutral connection made for this breaker?
This breaker includes a pigtail neutral wire. The pigtail must be routed and secured directly to the neutral bus bar in the panelboard to ensure the ground fault sensing circuitry functions correctly.
How can I visually identify if the QOB215EPD has tripped due to a fault?
Like other QO and QOB breakers, this model features a Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, the handle moves to a center position and a highly visible red indicator appears in a small window on the face of the breaker.
What does the EPD suffix indicate on the QOB215EPD catalog number?
The EPD suffix stands for Equipment Protection Device. It indicates that the breaker includes built-in 30mA Class B ground fault protection.
What color is the test button on Square D EPD breakers?
Square D EPD breakers feature a black test button on the face of the device. This helps distinguish them from standard 5mA GFI breakers, which typically have a yellow test button.
