Square D QO & QOB Circuit Breakers


Square D QO & QOB circuit breakers are a miniature thermal magnetic circuit breaker that provides over current protection and switching. Most new styles are equipped with a “Visi-Trip” indicator, which will allow you to visually see that the breaker has been tripped. These breakers have an Interrupt rating of 10 KA. The QO breaker is a Plug-On breaker that will work on QO load centers, NQOD panel boards, or Speed-D distribution panels. The QOB breaker is a Bolt-On breaker that will work on NQOD panel boards. Surplus Salvage currently has hundreds of QO and QOB circuit breakers, along with thousands of other electrical items for sale.

Buying a Safety Switch/Disconnect

















Some key things to think about when buying a disconnect/safety switch are:
  • Whether the unit is new or used
  • If the unit is Fusible or Non-Fusible - if it is fusible, does it come with fuses that are the correct amperage
  • Neutral & Ground - Make sure these are included if they are required. If you need to meet code, you may want to make sure the switch is rated with a neutral.
  • Enclosures - Find out if the unit you are buying is the proper enclosure type for the job. For Example a Nema 1 is an indoor enclosure and a Nema 12 is dustproof, etc.
  • Be certain that you are purchasing the proper voltage, phases, and amperage for the application.
  • Condition - Although it is typically a safe bet to buy a used disconnect/safety switch, some used units have holes where wire has previously been run in and out of the them and some disconnects will rust. Just make sure you are familiar with the switch inside and out.
Electrical Surplus Salvage sells both new and used disconnects/safety switches. Check out our store! More photos available upon request!
