Product FAQs

6 answers
Can I install this breaker in a standard QO load center?

No. The QOB230 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for commercial Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard residential QO load centers require plug-on breakers, such as the QO230.

Does this breaker feature a visual trip indicator?

Yes, it includes the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, a highly visible red flag appears in the indicator window, allowing you to easily identify the faulted circuit in a crowded panelboard.

What is the recommended terminal torque for the pressure plate connections?

The typical tightening torque for the pressure plate terminals on this 30A breaker is 36 lb-in when using 14 to 8 AWG aluminum or copper wire. Always verify against the printed label on the side of the breaker prior to termination.

Is this breaker suitable for use in DC applications?

Yes. In addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for use on direct current systems up to 48VDC, where it provides a 5kA short circuit interrupting rating.

Is the QOB230 HACR rated?

Yes, it is HACR rated. This means it has been tested and approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires motor group protection.

What are the alternate catalog numbers for a higher interrupting capacity?

If your panel requires a higher fault current rating than 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, you can use the QOB230VH for a 22kAIC rating or the QHB230 for a 65kAIC rating. Both maintain the same 30A, 2-pole, bolt-on form factor.
