Part of the highly reliable QO family, the Square D QOB350 provides 50A of standard thermal-magnetic protection. This 3-pole miniature circuit breaker handles commercial and industrial electrical distribution needs. Designed for a secure mechanical connection, this breaker bolts into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. The bolt-on mounting style prevents loosening over time. This model features the exclusive Visi-Trip indicator, providing a highly visible red flag when the breaker trips.
What panelboards are compatible with the QOB350 circuit breaker?
The QOB350 features a bolt-on connection designed specifically for Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It cannot be used in standard residential QO load centers, which require plug-on circuit breakers.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the box lugs on this breaker?
The terminal box lugs require a tightening torque of 44.3 lb-in (5 N.m) when securing 8 to 2 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
Is this circuit breaker suitable for HVAC equipment protection?
Yes, the QOB350 is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that require this specific rating.
What is the plug-on equivalent to the QOB350?
For applications requiring a plug-on connection, such as standard QO load centers, the direct equivalent is the Square D QO350.
Are there versions of this 50A 3-pole breaker with higher interrupting ratings?
Yes. If your system requires a higher fault current rating, you can specify the QOB350VH for 22kAIC or the QHB350 for 65kAIC at 240VAC.
Do I need to apply joint compound when using aluminum wire with this breaker?
Yes. When terminating aluminum conductors in the box lugs, standard electrical practice and NEC guidelines require the application of a listed antioxidant joint compound to prevent oxidation.
How does the Visi-Trip indicator function on the QOB350?
This breaker includes a built-in Visi-Trip visual indicator that displays a highly visible red flag in the window when the breaker has tripped due to a fault, making it easy to identify in a fully populated panelboard.
Can the QOB350 be reverse-fed in a panelboard?
Yes. Because standard Square D QO and QOB thermal-magnetic circuit breakers are not marked with "Line" and "Load" designations, they can safely be back-fed or reverse-fed in a panelboard or enclosure.

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.
