Schneider QHB230 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Schneider QHB 2-pole breaker fit a QO load center?
The QHB is part of Schneider Electric's QO range and is a bolt-on breaker, not a plug-on. It bolts to the bus, so it needs a panel with bolt-on bus provisions (QOB-style interiors), not a standard plug-on QO load center. If the panel you are feeding takes plug-on breakers, the bolt-on QHB will not seat on that bus.
2) Is the Schneider QHB breaker rated for a rooftop air conditioning unit or heat pump?
Yes, it is HACR rated, meaning it is the type of breaker specified for heating, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment where the load is a motor-compressor rather than a straight resistive load. For a condensing unit or heat pump whose nameplate calls for a maximum HACR-type overcurrent device, the 2-pole QHB at 20 A or 30 A is the right family.
3) What amperages does the QHB 2-pole come in, and which one do I order?
Two orderable ratings: QHB220 at 20 A and QHB230 at 30 A. Pick from the equipment nameplate's maximum overcurrent protection figure, not from the wire size, on HVAC loads. Order by the MPN so you do not end up with a single-pole.
4) How much panel space does a 2-pole Schneider QHB breaker take up?
Two spaces. The QHB 2-pole measures 2.99 in high, 1.5 in wide, 2.91 in deep, so it occupies two single-pole slots in the panel. Budget the 2.91 in depth against your can and cover clearance when you are filling out an existing commercial panel schedule.
5) What torque do I tighten the lugs to on a Schneider QHB circuit breaker?
4.6 N.m on the terminals. The QHB uses pressure plate connections, so the conductor seats under a plate rather than a saddle screw, and hitting that torque figure with a calibrated driver is what keeps the connection from loosening. Re-torque after the first thermal cycle on a new commercial install.
6) Can I use a bolt-on breaker like the Schneider QHB in a high vibration mechanical room?
That is the main reason to choose bolt-on over plug-on. The QHB mechanically fastens to the bus instead of clipping on, so vibration from rooftop units, chillers and compressors will not work the connection loose over time. It is a commercial-segment device, and the bolt-on mount is why spec writers call for it in mechanical spaces.
7) Is the Schneider QHB a standard thermal-magnetic breaker or does it have GFCI or AFCI protection?
Standard overcurrent protection only. The QHB is catalogued as a standard-type, standard-function 2-pole miniature circuit breaker, so it gives overload and short circuit protection and nothing else. If the circuit needs ground fault or arc fault protection to satisfy the inspector, a QHB will not do it and you need a device with that function built in.
8) What ambient temperature is the Schneider QHB breaker rated for?
40 degrees C ambient. Mechanical rooms, rooftop enclosures and kitchen back-of-house runs hot, and the QHB is calibrated for operation at that ambient, so the panel location should be held at or below it to keep the trip curve honest.
9) Can a Schneider QHB breaker be repaired or rebuilt if it trips repeatedly?
No. The QHB is a non-serviceable miniature circuit breaker, so there are no field-replaceable parts inside it. A breaker that keeps tripping gets diagnosed at the load and then replaced as a unit. For MRO stores standardizing on a panel, keeping spare QHB220 and QHB230 units on the shelf is the practical approach.
10) Does the Schneider QHB breaker meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements for a green building spec?
It is EU RoHS compliant, halogen free, mercury free and free of toxic heavy metals, and Schneider classes it as a Green Premium product with environmental disclosure ENVPEP2111016. One caveat for procurement teams tracking REACH: the reference contains Substances of Very High Concern above the threshold, so it declares under REACH even while meeting RoHS.
11) Where is the Schneider QHB circuit breaker made?
Mexico. That matters for buyers working under domestic-content or country-of-origin reporting on government and institutional jobs, where the origin has to be documented on the submittal.
