Part of the QO family, this 15-amp, three-pole breaker delivers 30mA ground fault equipment protection for 240VAC commercial systems. It is specifically calibrated to protect heat tracing, snow melting, and industrial machinery from damaging ground faults without the nuisance tripping associated with 5mA personnel devices. The robust bolt-on configuration installs into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It comes equipped with a pigtail neutral and the highly visible Visi-Trip indicator.
Which panelboards are compatible with the QOB315EPD?
This bolt-on circuit breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It will not fit in standard QO load centers, which require plug-on breakers.
What does the EPD designation mean on this breaker?
EPD stands for Equipment Protection Device. It provides a 30mA ground fault trip threshold designed to protect machinery and equipment, such as heat trace systems, from damage while preventing nuisance tripping. It is not a Class A GFCI for personnel protection.
How many pole spaces does the QOB315EPD require in a panel?
This is a 3-pole breaker that occupies three standard 3/4-inch spaces in an NQ or NQOD panelboard, requiring a total width of 2.25 inches.
How is the neutral connected on this breaker?
The QOB315EPD features a pigtail neutral wire. This wire must be securely connected to the neutral bar in the panelboard for the ground fault equipment protection circuitry to function properly.
Can I use this breaker to replace a standard QOB315?
Yes, if your application requires adding 30mA equipment ground fault protection. It has the same physical footprint and bolt-on mounting as a standard 3-pole 15A QOB breaker, but requires a connection to the panel neutral.

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.
