note

For accessories, see Accessories for QO/QOB Circuit Breakers, in
Section 7.

Single Phase 400 or 600 A NQ Panelboards now accept 150, 175, and 200 A Two Pole QO Plug-on Branch Circuit Breakers.

Each breaker takes four pole spaces. Installation into three phase interiors is not allowed as it may create a phase to phase short circuit.

One NQ200AN neutral lug kit should be installed for each pair of 175 or 200 A QO breakers if a neutral termination is required.

  • One Q1150AN lug kit should be installed for each 110 to 150 A QO(B) circuit breaker, if a neutral termination is required.

May only be installed on Single Phase 400 or 600 A NQ Panelboards with three point latch trim fronts.

A maximum of four 150, 175, or 200 A QO (VH) plug-on branch circuit breakers may be installed in NEMA 1 enclosures. These enclosures require NCxxV( )3P three point latch trim fronts, as listed in Main Lug Interiors or Main Circuit Breaker Interiors.

One 150, 175, or 200 A QO (VH) plug-on branch circuit breaker may be installed in 8.75 in. deep MHxxD9VWP NEMA 3R enclosures, as listed in Main Lug Interiors or Main Circuit Breaker Interiors.

Footnotes

  1. 10–30 A circuit breakers are suitable for use with 60 °C or 75 °C conductors. 35–60 A circuit breakers are suitable for use with 75 °C conductors.
  2. Do not connect to more than 250 feet of load conductor for the total one-way run to prevent nuisance tripping.
  3. May be applied in 208Y/120 Vac systems.
  4. Suitable only for feeding 240 Vac and 208 Vac two-wire loads. Does not contain load neutral connection.
  5. Recommended for applications where high initial inrush may occur and for individual dimmer applications.
  6. UL Listed as SWD (switching duty) rated suitable for switching 120 Vac fluorescent lighting loads.
  7. Available in single pole construction and can be mounted in any single pole space which will accept a standard QOB. These circuit breakers can be turned ON or OFF or RESET with a special key (Catalog No. QOK10) included with the circuit breaker. These circuit breakers are UL Listed and available as shown in the table.
  8. 10–30 A circuit breakers are suitable for use with 60°C or 75°C conductors. 35–60 A circuit breakers are suitable for use with 75°C conductors.
  9. UL Listed 5,000 AIR on 3Ø corner grounded delta systems.
  10. DC Rating is not available on indicated products.
  11. UL Listed as HACR type for use with air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment having motor group combinations and marked for use with HACR type circuit breakers.
  12. QOB2150VH uses 4 pole spaces. QOB3110VH, QOB3125VH, and QOB3150VH each use 6 pole spaces. 40A maximum circuit breaker mounted opposite. Use with 75 °C wire only.
  13. UL Listed for use on circuit feeding fluorescent and High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting systems such as mercury vapor, metal halide, or high pressure sodium. These circuit breakers are physically interchangeable with QOB circuit breakers.
  14. QO arc-fault circuit breakers provide branch feeder protection (for example, QO115AFI) or combination protection (for example, QO115CAFI) as required by the NEC and local code adoption, and comply with UL 1699.
