SQUARE D QOB220HID Miniature Circuit Breaker 20A 2 Pole 120/240V
A 20 A, two-pole miniature circuit breaker rated for 120/240 V AC and 48 V DC, designed for high-intensity discharge loads with a 10 kA interrupting rating
- Designed for high-intensity discharge loads
- 20 A rating protects 120/240 V circuits
- Two-pole bolt-on design fits QO panelboards
- 10 kA interrupting capacity at 120/240 V AC
- Compact 3 × 1.5 × 2.9 in frame saves panel space
Application Fit
The Square D QOB220HID is a miniature circuit breaker rated 20 A for single-phase 120/240 V AC systems and 48 V DC. It uses the QOB bolt-on frame and fits Square D QO and NQOD panelboards where a two-pole high-intensity-discharge breaker is required.
Accessory Impact
The pressure-plate terminals accept wire directly without separate lugs, and the paddle actuator provides a clear visual trip indication. No additional software, mounting hardware or configuration tools are included in the package.
Compatibility Check
Verify that the load centre is a Square D QO or NQOD series with available bolt-on slots and that the panel’s interrupting rating meets or exceeds 10 kA at 120/240 V AC. Confirm the circuit calls for a two-pole HID-type breaker before ordering.

Questions about this item
Will the 10 kA interrupting rating ever need to be upgraded during the breaker's service life?
The 10 kA rating is fixed for this QOB unit; if the available fault current at the panel ever exceeds 10 kA, the breaker must be replaced with a higher-rated model.
What is the first limit reached when the 20 A breaker carries full load continuously?
Continuous operation at 20 A is the thermal limit; the device is rated for 100 % of its 20 A handle rating, so sustained loads above 20 A will cause it to trip.
How much heat does the 2-pole 20 A unit add to a QO panel running all day?
Normal heat rise is within the design limits of the 100 A QO frame; the bolt-on pressure-plate terminals and paddle actuator add no extra ventilation requirements.
