Product FAQs
5 answers
Can the QOU290 be mounted on a standard DIN rail?
Yes, QOU series breakers can be DIN rail-mounted using a standard 35mm symmetrical DIN rail. They can also be surface-mounted or flush-mounted depending on your enclosure requirements.
Are the line and load lugs on the QOU290 reversible?
No. Unlike lower-amperage QOU breakers, the 80A to 125A models (including the 90A QOU290) feature non-reversible line and load lugs. The breaker must be wired with the correct line and load orientation.
Is the QOU290 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is UL Listed as HACR type, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Is there a 22kAIC version of this 90A QOU breaker?
Yes, if your application requires a higher interrupting rating, you can use the QOU290VH. The VH version provides 22kAIC at 120/240VAC compared to the standard 10kAIC of the QOU290.
Can I add a shunt trip to the QOU290?
Yes, QOU circuit breakers accept factory-installed electrical accessories like shunt trips and auxiliary switches. Note that adding these accessories will require an additional pole space in your panel or enclosure.
