Product FAQs
7 answers
Can I install this QOB325 circuit breaker in a standard QO load center?
No. The QOB325 features a bolt-on mounting style designed specifically for NQ and NQOD panelboards. If you need a plug-on equivalent for a standard residential or commercial QO load center, you will need the QO325 catalog number.
Will the QOB325 fit older generation NQOD panelboards?
Yes, this breaker is fully compatible with legacy Square D NQOD panelboards, as well as current generation NQ series panelboards.
Is there a version of this 25A bolt-on breaker with a higher interrupting rating?
Yes. If your electrical system requires a higher fault current rating than the standard 10kAIC, you can use the QOB325VH, which provides a 22kA interrupt rating at 240VAC.
Is this 3-pole miniature circuit breaker approved for HVAC equipment?
Yes. The QOB325 is HACR rated, meaning it is safety certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
How does the Visi-Trip indicator function on this Square D breaker?
The built-in Visi-Trip indicator displays a highly visible red flag in the window when the breaker trips. This feature allows electricians and maintenance personnel to quickly identify a faulted circuit in a crowded panelboard, easily distinguishing it from breakers that are manually switched off.
Why choose a bolt-on breaker over a plug-on design?
Bolt-on breakers secure directly to the panelboard busbar using a mechanical fastener. This creates a highly robust, vibration-resistant electrical connection, making it the preferred mounting style for demanding commercial and industrial applications.
How does the integrated pressure plate terminal protect the wiring?
The pressure plate terminal is designed to compress evenly across the exposed conductor. This provides a strong, secure termination while preventing the terminal screw from cutting into or damaging the individual strands of flexible wiring.
