Product FAQs

7 answers
What function does the 1021 suffix provide on this breaker?

The 1021 suffix indicates the inclusion of a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via an external control signal, which is commonly used in emergency stop or automated shutdown circuits.

Will the QOB3201021 fit in a standard Square D QO residential load center?

No. The QOB3201021 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed exclusively for commercial NQ and NQOD series panelboards. It does not have the plug-on mounting clips required for standard QO load centers.

What is the difference between the QOB320 and QOB3201021 catalog numbers?

While both are 20A, 3-pole bolt-on breakers, the QOB3201021 features an integrated 120/240VAC shunt trip for remote shutdown capabilities. The standard QOB320 does not include this factory-installed accessory.

What type of wire is approved for the QOB3201021 terminals?

The factory-installed pressure plate terminals are rated for either copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 8 AWG. Always verify local code requirements and panel torque specifications when terminating conductors.

Can the QOB3201021 be used in direct current systems?

Yes. In addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker carries a 48VDC rating with a 5 kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for select low-voltage DC control circuits.

What type of trip mechanism does the QOB3201021 use?

It utilizes a non-interchangeable, fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. This provides both long-time inverse-time overload protection and instantaneous short-circuit protection.

Does this breaker include a tripped status indicator?

Yes. Like most QO and QOB circuit breakers, it features Square D's Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to a fault or the shunt trip being activated, a highly visible red indicator appears in the window, allowing you to quickly identify the tripped breaker.
