Product FAQs
7 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the QOB3601021 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on miniature circuit breaker is designed specifically for Square D NQ and NQOD series panelboards. It is not compatible with standard QO load centers, which require plug-on breakers.
What does the 1021 suffix in the QOB3601021 catalog number signify?
The 1021 suffix indicates the presence of a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip. This accessory allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by applying voltage to the shunt trip coil, commonly used for emergency stop or remote shutdown applications.
Can I use a standard QOB360 instead of the QOB3601021?
You can only substitute it if your application does not require remote tripping. The standard QOB360 has identical base specifications but lacks the factory-installed shunt trip required for remote disconnect systems.
Do the terminals on the QOB3601021 require copper wire?
No, the box lugs are dual-rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors ranging from 8 AWG to 2 AWG. Always ensure the wire is properly torqued and sized for a 60A load.
How can I tell if the QOB3601021 has tripped due to a fault?
This breaker features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, the handle moves to a center position and a high-visibility red flag appears in the indicator window.
Is the QOB3601021 rated for direct current (DC) circuits?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for use on 48VDC systems with a 5kAIC interrupting rating. This makes it viable for certain low-voltage DC industrial control or battery applications.
Is this 60A breaker approved for HVAC equipment?
Yes, the QOB3601021 is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific designation.

Great Price!
Great price. Fast delivery. My local electric distributor wanted double for the same breaker, so it was a no brainer to order this one. Ordered another one since with the same great service.
