Can be DIN rail-mounted, surface-mounted, or flush-mounted
Visi‑Trip® indication provides a clear visual signal when the breaker has tripped
QOU Miniature Molded Case Circuit Breakers are intended for use in residential and commercial applications. They are used for overcurrent protection and switching on both AC and DC electrical systems. These breakers provide a means to manually open a circuit using the interally magnetic strips. They also have VisiTrip trip indication, which provides a visual indication that the circuit breaker has tripped and interrupted the circuit. These QOU miniature circuit breakers can be DIN rail mounted, surface mounted or flush mounted using mounting feet. This two pole QOU miniature circuit breaker is rated as 40A, 240VAC. This circuit breaker provides 10 kA breaking capacity. QOU circuit breakers have been verified to adhere to their datasheet specifications by UL and CSA.
