Built for commercial power distribution, the Square D QOB290 delivers 90 amps of reliable thermal-magnetic protection. This two-pole miniature circuit breaker handles 120/240VAC loads. The device mounts securely into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards using a robust bolt-on connection, ensuring a stable fit in high-vibration environments. It accepts 4 AWG to 2/0 AWG wiring. Rated for 10kAIC, the breaker includes the Visi-Trip indicator to flag tripped circuits and is fully HACR rated.
Can I install the QOB290 in a standard QO load center?

What is the difference between the QO290 and QOB290 circuit breakers?
Both are 90A, 2-pole breakers from the Square D QO family, but they use different mounting methods. The QO290 is a plug-on breaker for residential and light commercial QO load centers, while the QOB290 is a bolt-on breaker designed for industrial NQ and NQOD panelboards.
How many panel spaces does the QOB290 require?
This 2-pole miniature circuit breaker requires two standard 3/4-inch spaces in a compatible NQ or NQOD panelboard.

The manufacturer-specified tightening torque for the factory-installed box lugs is 49.6 lb-in (5.6 N-m) for securing 4 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.
Does the QOB290 include a visual trip indicator?
Yes, this breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. A highly visible red indicator appears in the window when the breaker trips, making it easy to identify a tripped circuit inside a crowded panelboard.
Is the QOB290 circuit breaker HACR rated?
