QOU Series 50 A Breaker
The Square D QOU150 is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker rated at 50 amps for 120/240 V AC and 48 V DC systems. It belongs to the QO series and carries a 10 kA interrupting rating at the AC voltage. The device is designed for branch-circuit protection in residential and light-commercial panels.
Fits QO Load Centres
The breaker mounts on a DIN rail or surface within compatible QO panelboards and load centres. Its reversible slotted box lug accepts line or load conductors without reorientation. The 100 A frame size allows it to sit alongside other QO devices while protecting air-conditioning, refrigeration and heating circuits.
10 kA Interrupting Capacity
In normal operation the toggle actuator provides a clear on-off indication and trips reliably on overcurrent. The 10 kA AIR rating at 120/240 V AC limits let-through energy during a fault. No active cooling is required and the unit operates silently within its enclosure.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum AIR rating at 120/240V AC for this 50A breaker?
The QOU150 has a maximum AIR rating of 10kA at 120/240V AC, suitable for standard residential and light commercial fault protection.
How much heat does the toggle actuator generate during continuous 50A operation?
The miniature frame is designed for standard thermal-magnetic operation at 50A; normal warmth is expected, but the 100A frame size provides thermal margin for continuous loads.
Which load center series must I already have to install this QOU breaker?
This breaker is compatible only with Square D QO series panelboards and load centers; it will not fit Homeline or other manufacturers' panels.
