Built for reliable branch circuit protection, the Square D QOB315 is a three-pole miniature circuit breaker suitable for commercial environments. It utilizes thermal-magnetic technology to safeguard systems against overloads and short circuits. This 15-amp device bolts securely into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It requires three panel spaces and accepts 14 to 8 AWG wiring.
Can I install the QOB315 in a standard Square D QO residential load center?
No. The QOB315 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed exclusively for Square D NQ and NQOD commercial panelboards. Standard QO load centers require plug-on QO breakers, not bolt-on QOB models.
Are there higher interrupting rating alternatives to the standard QOB315?
Yes. If your panel requires a higher short-circuit current rating than 10 kAIC at 120/240VAC, you can upgrade to the QOB315VH for a 22 kAIC rating or the QHB315 for a 65 kAIC rating. Both share the same physical dimensions and bolt-on mounting style.
Does this breaker feature the Square D Visi-Trip indicator?
Yes, the QOB315 includes the Visi-Trip feature. When a fault causes the breaker to trip, the handle snaps to a midpoint position and reveals a bright red visual indicator for rapid identification in a crowded panelboard.
Is the QOB315 circuit breaker suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes. This 15-amp miniature circuit breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with compatible heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
How does the QOB315 connect to the panelboard bus?
It uses a bolt-on mounting configuration. The breaker physically bolts directly to the bus bars of an NQ or NQOD panelboard to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant connection in commercial and industrial environments.
