Featuring a factory-installed 120/208/240VAC shunt trip mechanism, the QOB3801021 enables remote tripping capabilities for safety and control applications. This 80-amp, three-pole device fastens into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards using a secure bolt-on connection. The assembly requires four pole spaces due to the integrated accessory. It delivers standard 10kAIC protection at 240V and includes the Visi-Trip visual indicator to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
Can I install the QOB3801021 in a standard QO load center?
No. The QOB3801021 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It cannot be installed in standard QO plug-on load centers or Homeline panels.
How many panel spaces does the QOB3801021 require?
Although it is a 3-pole breaker, it requires four pole spaces in your panelboard. The factory-installed shunt trip mechanism occupies the additional space.
What does the 1021 suffix indicate on this Square D breaker?
The 1021 suffix means the breaker includes a factory-installed shunt trip mechanism configured for 120, 208, or 240 VAC operation. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely for safety or control applications.
What size wire does the shunt trip terminal accept?
The shunt trip accessory terminals accept up to two 14 AWG to 12 AWG copper wires. The primary breaker lugs accept 4 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
Can I add a shunt trip to a standard QOB380 breaker in the field?
No. Square D shunt trips for QO and QOB breakers must be factory-installed. You must order a breaker with the appropriate suffix, such as the QOB3801021, if remote tripping is required.
Does this breaker feature a tripped indicator?
Yes, it includes the Square D Visi-Trip visual indicator. When the breaker trips, a highly visible red flag appears in the indicator window to help you quickly identify the tripped circuit.
Is this breaker HACR rated?
Yes, the QOB3801021 is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific certification.
