Product FAQs
5 answers
Can I install the QOB3150VH in a standard residential QO load center?
No. Standard residential QO load centers require plug-on breakers. The QOB3150VH features a bolt-on connection specifically engineered for commercial and industrial NQ and NQOD panelboards.
How many panel spaces does the QOB3150VH require?
This 150-amp, 3-pole breaker requires 6 vertical pole spaces. The electrical load is spread across 6 spaces instead of the typical 3 spaces to safely handle the higher current and prevent overloading the panel bus connections.
What does the VH mean in the QOB3150VH part number?
The letters VH indicate an elevated interrupting rating. This model provides a 22kAIC rating, which is higher than standard QOB circuit breakers, making it suitable for electrical systems with higher available fault currents.
What is the required tightening torque for the terminal lugs?
The box lugs on the QOB3150VH must be tightened to 250.5 lb-in (28.3 N.m) to ensure a safe and secure electrical connection. Always confirm the specific torque value printed directly on the breaker body before completing your installation.
Does the QOB3150VH have a tripped circuit indicator?
Yes. It includes a built-in Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, a highly visible red indicator appears in the window to help you quickly identify the faulted circuit in a busy electrical panel.

Customers say these electrical breakers arrive exactly as ordered and work perfectly for their intended applications. They consistently praise the competitive pricing, which many report is significantly lower than local suppliers. Fast shipping and prompt delivery are frequently highlighted, with many receiving orders within days or even next-day delivery for urgent needs. The breakers arrive well-packaged and in excellent condition. Many reviews emphasize the company's extensive inventory availability, particularly for hard-to-find breakers. One customer experienced difficulty with order cancellation and was charged a restocking fee, which caused dissatisfaction.
