Product FAQs
7 answers
What does the 1021 suffix indicate on the QOB2701021 circuit breaker?
The 1021 suffix means this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/208/240 VAC shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely using an external voltage signal, which is commonly used for emergency stops or automated control systems.
Which panelboards are compatible with the QOB2701021 breaker?
This bolt-on miniature circuit breaker is designed specifically for use in Square D NQ and NQOD series panelboards. It is not compatible with standard QO load centers, which require plug-on style breakers.
How does the QOB2701021 connect to the panelboard bus?
The QOB series uses a bolt-on connection to secure the breaker directly to the panelboard bus. This provides a robust, vibration-resistant mechanical and electrical connection suitable for commercial and industrial applications.
What wire sizes are accepted by the box lugs on the QOB2701021?
The box lugs on this 70A breaker accept aluminum or copper conductors ranging from 8 AWG to 2 AWG. Always torque the terminals to the manufacturer specifications printed on the breaker label.
Can the QOB2701021 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for use on DC systems up to 48VDC, where it provides a 5kA interrupting rating.
Does this breaker feature a visual trip indicator?
Yes, it includes the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent, short circuit, or a remote shunt trip signal, a highly visible red indicator appears in the window to help quickly identify the tripped circuit.
What type of trip mechanism does the QOB2701021 utilize?
It uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal element provides long-time protection against overloads, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous protection against short circuits. The integrated shunt trip also allows for remote safety tripping.
