Mounts into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards to deliver dependable overcurrent protection for commercial and industrial applications. This two-pole, 70A bolt-on circuit breaker features standard box lug terminals that accept 8-2 AWG aluminum or copper wiring. Rated for 10 kAIC at 120/240VAC, the unit includes a Visi-Trip visual indicator that makes it easy to spot a tripped circuit in a crowded panel. It is HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Can I install the QOB270 in a standard QO load center?
No. The QOB270 features a bolt-on connection designed specifically for Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. Standard QO load centers require plug-on circuit breakers.
How many panel spaces does the QOB270 require?
This two-pole circuit breaker requires two adjacent panel spaces in a compatible NQ or NQOD bolt-on panelboard.
What is the tightening torque for the load terminals on the QOB270?
The box lugs should be tightened to 44.3 lb-in (5.0 N-m) for the supported 8 AWG to 2 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.
What is the plug-on equivalent to the QOB270?
The QO270 is the exact plug-on equivalent for this breaker, offering the same 70A capacity for use in standard QO residential load centers.
Is there a version of the 70A QOB breaker with a higher interrupting rating?
Yes. If your commercial system requires a 22kAIC rating at 120/240VAC, you will need to source the QOB270VH instead of the standard 10kAIC QOB270.
Does the QOB270 feature a visual trip indicator?
Yes, this circuit breaker includes the Visi-Trip red indicator flag, which helps electricians quickly identify a tripped circuit inside a crowded panelboard.
Is the QOB270 rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it fully compliant for use as overcurrent protection for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems.
