Product FAQs
6 answers
Can I install the Square D QOU315 in a standard QO load center?
No. The QOU315 is a unit-mount circuit breaker designed for DIN rail, surface, or flush mounting in OEM equipment and control panels. Standard QO breakers are plug-on types designed specifically for QO load centers and NQ panelboards.
How do you mount the QOU315 circuit breaker?
This unit-mount breaker is highly adaptable for control panels and OEM enclosures. It snaps directly onto standard 35mm DIN rails and also supports surface or flush mounting configurations.
What type of wire connections does this feed-thru breaker use?
The QOU315 utilizes slotted box lugs on both the line and load sides. This feed-thru configuration is favored by panel builders for flexible cable routing, accepting 14 to 2 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
Can I feed power from the bottom of the QOU315 breaker?
Yes. The reversible line and load box lugs allow for reverse feeding. This provides panel builders with extra flexibility when routing cables in tight control panels and custom enclosures.
Is the Square D QOU315 rated for heating and cooling equipment?
Yes. This miniature circuit breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for the unique electrical demands and motor startup surges of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
How can I tell if the QOU315 has tripped in a crowded control panel?
This model features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When a fault causes the breaker to trip, a highly visible red flag drops into a window on the face of the breaker, allowing for quick identification without needing to manually test each handle.
