Part of the QO family by Square D, this 3-pole, 100A miniature circuit breaker provides dependable thermal-magnetic protection for commercial and industrial applications. It handles 240VAC systems with a 10kAIC interrupting capacity. The bolt-on design installs securely into NQ and NQOD panelboards. It accepts 4 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wiring via standard box lug terminals. Equipped with a Visi-Trip indicator, this HACR-rated breaker makes it easy to spot a tripped circuit.
