Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the 1021 suffix mean on the QOU3201021 part number?
The 1021 suffix designates a factory-installed shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be opened remotely via an external 120VAC to 240VAC control signal, which is commonly used in advanced control panels and emergency shutdown systems.
How is the QOU3201021 secured within an enclosure?
As a unit-mount breaker, it does not plug into a traditional load center bus. Instead, it features a cable-in, cable-out design and can be surface-mounted, flush-mounted, or attached to a standard DIN rail using the appropriate mounting hardware.
What type of conductors can be terminated on this breaker?
The integrated box lugs are rated for both aluminum and copper wire. They accept conductor sizes ranging from 14 AWG to 2 AWG, providing flexibility for various field wiring requirements.
How does the Visi-Trip feature assist with maintenance on this breaker?
The Visi-Trip indicator provides a highly visible red flag when the breaker trips due to an overcurrent condition or a remote shunt trip signal. This allows electricians to quickly identify the faulted circuit in a crowded control panel.
Can this breaker be used in direct current control circuits?
Yes, in addition to its standard AC ratings, this breaker is UL listed for DC applications up to 48VDC. It provides a 5kA interrupting capacity for DC control panels and battery systems.
Is the QOU3201021 suitable for 3-phase equipment?
Yes, this is a 3-pole breaker designed for 3-phase applications. It features an internal common trip mechanism that ensures all three poles open simultaneously during a fault or when the shunt trip is activated.
