Thermal magnetic circuit breakers, like the QOU220 are commonly found HVAC applications and other set-ups with DinRail mounting applications. This is considered a feed-through breaker. It can be mounted either to a DinRail set up or to a flat panel surface. The electromagnet characteristics of the QOU220 allow it to trip instantaneously under large surges in current (e.g., short circuits). A bimetallic strip within the QOU220 will respond to less extreme but longer-term over-current conditions. These breakers are found light industrial and in some residential applications across the United States. The QOU220 breakers are used to protect lighting circuits, dishwashers, dryers, and lots of residential equipment.
The QOU220 can be purchased from www.LiveWireSupply.com. Itís always best to consult local utility requirements and code prior to installing this breaker.
Square D Molded Case Circuit Breakers, like the QOU220 are designed to provide circuit protection for low voltage distribution protection for low voltage distribution systems. They are described by NEMA as, "a device for closing and interrupting a circuit between separable contacts under both normal and abnormal conditions," and furthermore as, ". . . a breaker assembled as an integral unit in a supporting and enclosing housing of insulating material." The NEC describes them as, "A device designed to open and close a circuit by non-automatic means, and to open the circuit automatically on a predetermined overload of current, without injury to itself when properly applied within its rating."
