Product FAQs
6 answers
What is the difference between the Square D QOU260 and the QOU260VH?
The "VH" suffix indicates a higher interrupting rating. The QOU260VH is rated for 22 kAIC at 120/240VAC, whereas the standard QOU260 is rated for 10 kAIC. Both are 60A, 2-pole unit-mount breakers.
How is the QOU260VH circuit breaker mounted?
This unit-mount (cable-in/cable-out) breaker can be installed on a standard 35mm DIN rail. It can also be surface-mounted or flush-mounted in OEM panels and enclosures using separate mounting feet, which are not included with the breaker.
Can I install the QOU260VH in a standard Square D QO load center?
No. The QOU series consists of unit-mount breakers designed for OEM panels, DIN rail systems, and custom enclosures. They are cable-in/cable-out devices and do not plug onto the busbar of standard QO or Homeline residential load centers.
Does the QOU260VH feature a tripped circuit indicator?
Yes, it includes the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. This provides a highly visible red flag when the breaker has tripped due to an overcurrent or short circuit, making it easier to identify faults in crowded control panels.
What wire sizes are compatible with the lugs on the QOU260VH?
The slotted box lugs accept 14 AWG to 2 AWG copper or aluminum wire. Ensure terminal screws are torqued to the manufacturer-specified inch-pounds during installation.
Is the QOU260VH rated for use in DC circuits?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for use on DC systems up to 48VDC with an interrupting capacity of 5 kAIC, making it suitable for specialized control and industrial applications.
