Square D QO235 plug-in circuit breaker is used to protect circuits from overloads and short circuits. Its compact design allows for easy installation into compatible load centres and panels. This breaker is favoured for its reliability, quick reset capabilities and a broad range of amperage options. It safeguards wiring and appliances by interrupting power flow during abnormal conditions, preventing potential damage or hazards.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What are the reasons for frequent tripping of the mini circuit breaker?
A. A ground fault, circuit overload, short-circuiting, defective circuit breaker or an arc fault can cause tripping of the circuit breaker.
Q. What are the points to inspect before operating the MCB breaker?
A.
- Inspect the unit for any cracks, chipping, discolouration or any sign of overheating. Tighten the terminals & connectors. Check the mounting hardware.
- Keep the area around the breaker clean by using an enclosure. Remove the dust, dirt, grease, moisture, foreign contaminants or any safety hazards near the circuit breaker area.
