QOB/QO Arc-Fault and Dual Function Circuit Breakers

Square D™ QOB/QO Arc-Fault and Dual Function Circuit Breakers provide advanced circuit protection for residential and commercial electrical systems. These breakers help protect against hazardous arc-fault conditions and, in dual function models, combine both arc-fault (AFCI) and ground-fault (GFCI) protection in a single device. Designed for code-compliant installations, they offer reliable performance, easy integration into QO/QOB panelboards, and UL-listed safety certification.

Arc-Fault and Dual Function Circuit Breakers

These circuit breakers are available in 15 A and 20 A ampere ratings and are offered in 1-pole, 120 Vac and 2-pole, 240 Vac configurations. Models are available with interrupting capacities of 10 kAIR and 22 kAIR, enabling them to meet various fault current requirements. Single-pole devices require one panel space, while two-pole devices require two panel spaces within compatible QO/QOB panelboards. Breakers rated from 10–30 A are suitable for use with 60°C or 75°C conductors, providing installation flexibility.

note

  • Single-phase 400 or 600 A NQ panelboards accept 150, 175, and 200 A two-pole QO Plug-on Branch Circuit Breakers.

  • Each circuit 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 QOB circuit breaker, if a neutral termination is required.

Footnotes

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
