Product FAQs

7 answers
Can I install the QOB245 in a standard residential QO load center?

No. The QOB245 features a bolt-on connection intended exclusively for commercial NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard QO residential load centers require plug-on breakers.

Can I use the QO245 as a direct replacement for the QOB245?

No. While both breakers share similar thermal-magnetic protection and electrical ratings, the QO245 is a plug-on breaker. The QOB245 is specifically designed with a bolt-on connection for securing to the bus in commercial panelboards.

Is the QOB245 circuit breaker rated for use with HVAC equipment?

Yes. This breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications that require this specific classification.

What is the recommended tightening torque for the wire terminals on the QOB245?

The recommended tightening torque for the box lugs is 44.3 lb-in (5 N.m) when securing 8 to 2 AWG copper or aluminum wiring.

How can I visually verify if the QOB245 has tripped?

This breaker is equipped with a Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, a bright red flag appears in the indicator window to easily identify the faulted circuit.

How much physical space does the QOB245 require in a panelboard?

Because the QOB series uses a compact footprint, this 2-pole breaker requires two standard 3/4-inch panel spaces.

What is an alternate catalog number for the Square D QOB245?

This circuit breaker is also recognized by the industrial distributor cross-reference number 2DM72.
