Part of the QO family, this two-pole 90A miniature circuit breaker offers a Very High 22kA interrupting rating for commercial and industrial systems requiring robust fault protection. The unit fastens securely into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards, utilizing a bolt-on connection to maintain continuity in demanding environments. It features a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism for reliable overload response and includes the Visi-Trip red indicator to simplify troubleshooting procedures.
What is the difference between the QOB290VH and the QO290VH?
The QOB290VH is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed for commercial NQ and NQOD panelboards. The QO290VH is the plug-on equivalent designed for standard QO load centers.
What does the VH suffix mean on this Square D breaker?
The VH suffix designates a Very High interrupting rating. While standard QOB breakers typically have a 10kAIC rating, the QOB290VH is rated to safely interrupt up to 22,000 amps (22kAIC) at 120/240VAC.
How many panel spaces does this 90A breaker occupy?
The QOB290VH requires two standard 3/4-inch spaces in a compatible Square D NQ or NQOD panelboard.
Does the QOB290VH feature a tripped circuit indicator?
Yes, it includes the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, the handle moves to a center position and a bright red indicator appears in a window, allowing you to quickly identify the faulted circuit.
Is the QOB290VH suitable for use with HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific overcurrent protection standard.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the QOB290VH lugs?
The box lugs on this breaker require a tightening torque of 49.6 lb-in (5.6 N.m). Always verify the exact torque specifications printed on the side of the breaker prior to terminating the conductors.
