Schneider QOB240VH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a QOB2 breaker fit in a QO plug-on load center?
No. The QOB2VH is a bolt-on breaker, so it mounts with screws to a bolt-on bus in a QO panelboard or I-Line style interior. A plug-on QO load center uses clip-on breakers and will not accept it. For plug-in loadcenter applications you need the plug-on QO 2-pole equivalent instead.
2) Is this QO breaker rated for a rooftop air conditioner or refrigeration unit?
Yes, it carries the HACR rating, which is the marking inspectors look for on breakers protecting heating, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment branch circuits. Amperages run 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 100 A two-pole, so you can match the nameplate maximum overcurrent protection on most packaged units.
3) What does the 22kA interrupting rating mean for my panel's short circuit current rating?
The VH suffix version is a 22,000 A interrupting capacity breaker at 120/240VAC, so it can be applied where the available fault current at the panel exceeds the 10kA of a standard QO breaker. On services with high available fault current, using the standard-interrupting version instead would leave the panel underrated.
4) How many panel spaces does the Schneider QO 2-pole bolt-on breaker take up?
Two spaces. It measures 1.5 inches wide, which is two QO 3/4-inch pole spaces, and 2.91 inches deep. Count two open poles in the panel before ordering.
5) Which amperage ratings are available in the QOB2VH two-pole breaker?
Seven ratings: 15 A (QOB215VH), 20 A (QOB220VH), 30 A (QOB230VH), 40 A (QOB240VH), 50 A (QOB250VH), 60 A (QOB260VH) and 100 A (QOB2100VH). All are 2-pole, common trip, 120/240VAC.
6) Can I use this two-pole breaker for a 240V single-phase load like a water heater or a 120/240V split circuit?
Yes. It is a 2-pole device with a common trip, so both ungrounded conductors open together, which is what 240V and multiwire 120/240V branch circuits require. Rated 120/240VAC.
7) Is this a plain thermal-magnetic breaker or does it include GFCI or AFCI protection?
Standard thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection only. The QOB2VH is catalogued as a standard-function miniature circuit breaker, so it provides overload and short circuit protection with no ground-fault or arc-fault sensing. Where the NEC requires GFCI or AFCI on the circuit, you need the QO GFI or CAFI version instead.
8) Will this breaker hold its rating in a hot mechanical room or an outdoor panel?
The rated ambient for operation is 40 degrees C (104 F). Panels in unconditioned attics, rooftop enclosures or boiler rooms can run hotter than that, and in those spots you size for the derating rather than assuming full nameplate amperage.
9) Is a tripped QO bolt-on breaker repairable, or does it get replaced?
Replaced. Schneider lists the QOB miniature circuit breaker as non-serviceable, with a 15-year average life duration. There are no field-replaceable trip units or contacts, so a breaker that fails or will not reset comes out and a new one goes in.
10) Do these QO breakers meet green building and RoHS requirements for a spec submittal?
They are Green Premium, EU RoHS compliant, halogen free, mercury free and free of toxic heavy metals, with environmental profile document ENVPEP2111016 and a stated total lifecycle carbon footprint of 19 kg CO2 eq. Note the REACH declaration states the reference contains Substances of Very High Concern above the threshold, which some procurement checklists ask about. Packaging is free of single-use plastic but is not made with recycled cardboard.
11) Where is the Schneider QOB2VH breaker made?
Manufactured in Mexico by Schneider Electric, in the QO product range.
