Constructed for heavy-duty performance, this 80A, three-pole miniature breaker offers reliable thermal-magnetic protection. It is utilized across commercial and industrial environments to defend systems from overcurrents. Installation is adaptable, as the breaker mounts securely onto standard DIN rails or flat surfaces in OEM control panels. Reversible line and load lugs accommodate 12-2/0 AWG wiring for convenient top or bottom feeds. The 10 kAIC rated device includes a Visi-Trip indicator.
How does the QOU380 mounting differ from standard QO or QOB breakers?
Unlike plug-on QO or bolt-on QOB breakers that install directly into Square D load centers and panelboards, the QOU380 is a unit-mount (feed-thru) miniature circuit breaker. It is designed for surface, flush, or DIN rail mounting in OEM control panels, automation enclosures, and industrial machinery using the appropriate mounting foot accessories.
Can I mount the QOU380 circuit breaker on a standard DIN rail?
Yes, you can mount the QOU380 onto a symmetrical 35mm DIN rail. However, because it is a unit-mount breaker, it requires an optional 3-pole mounting foot accessory, such as the Square D QOUMF3, to attach properly to the rail or a flat surface.
Is the QOU380 suitable for DC applications?
Yes. In addition to its 120/240VAC rating, the QOU380 is UL Listed for use in low-voltage DC systems. It carries a 60VDC rating with a 5 kA interrupting capacity, making it a versatile choice for DC control panels and battery circuits.
Is this 80-amp breaker HACR rated?
Yes. The QOU380, like all high-ampere QOU breakers in the 80 to 125-amp range, is UL Listed as an HACR-type circuit breaker. This rating ensures it is certified for use with multi-motor heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
What size wire do the lugs on the QOU380 accept, and are they reversible?
The factory-installed slotted box lugs accept #12 to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire. Unlike some low-ampere QOU models that feature reversible lugs, the high-ampere (80 to 125-amp) QOU breakers come with non-reversible line and load lugs.
How do I know if the QOU380 has tripped due to an overcurrent or short circuit?
The QOU380 features Square D's Visi-Trip visual indicator. When the breaker trips, the handle moves to a center position and a highly visible red flag appears in the indicator window, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly identify the tripped circuit in a crowded control panel.
