Product FAQs
5 answers
What does the 1021 suffix indicate on the QOB245-1021 breaker?
The 1021 suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240V AC shunt trip. This accessory allows the breaker to be opened remotely using a push-button, switch, or other pilot control device.
Which panelboards are compatible with the QOB245-1021?
This bolt-on circuit breaker is designed specifically for use in Square D NQ and NQOD series panelboards. It cannot be installed in standard QO load centers, which require plug-on style breakers.
How does the bolt-on mounting of the QOB245-1021 differ from standard QO breakers?
Unlike standard QO breakers that snap onto the busbar, the QOB245-1021 physically bolts directly to the panelboard bus. This provides a highly secure, vibration-resistant connection typically required in commercial and industrial applications.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the QOB245-1021?
The box lugs on this 45A breaker are designed to accept 8 AWG to 2 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Does the QOB245-1021 feature a tripped circuit indicator?
Yes, it includes the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, the handle moves to a center position and a bright red flag appears in the window for quick identification.
