Delivering reliable overcurrent protection for commercial applications, this 70A miniature breaker integrates seamlessly into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. The bolt-on mounting style provides a robust mechanical connection to the busbar, preventing loosening in high-vibration environments. Featuring the signature Visi-Trip indicator, maintenance personnel can quickly identify tripped circuits, while the 22kAIC rating handles higher fault currents typical in commercial electrical systems.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the QOB270VH circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It cannot be installed in standard QO load centers, which require plug-on breakers.
What does the VH designation indicate on this breaker?
The VH suffix denotes a very high interrupting rating. The QOB270VH is rated for 22kAIC at 120/240VAC, whereas the standard QOB270 is rated for 10kAIC.
What is the plug-on equivalent of the QOB270VH?
The plug-on equivalent is the QO270VH. You would use the QO270VH for standard QO load centers, while the QOB270VH is strictly for bolt-on panelboard applications.
Does this breaker include a tripped circuit indicator?
Yes, it features the Square D Visi-Trip visual indicator. When the breaker trips, a bright red flag appears in the indicator window to help maintenance personnel quickly identify the faulted circuit.
What are the wire size and torque requirements for the box lugs?
The terminals accept 8 AWG to 2 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. The manufacturer specifies a tightening torque of 44.3 to 49.6 lb-in (5.0 to 5.6 N.m) depending on the exact wire size and material used.
How does the bolt-on mounting benefit commercial installations?
The bolt-on connection secures the breaker directly to the panelboard busbar with a screw. This creates a robust, vibration-resistant mechanical connection that prevents loosening over time in demanding commercial and industrial environments.
