The Square D QOB115VHAFI is a QOB-series bolt-on breaker, designed to install in Square D QO bolt-on loadcentres and panelboards — typically found in multi-unit residential, mobile home, and certain commercial panel configurations that require bolt-on retention rather than plug-in. It is not interchangeable with plug-in QO breakers or Square D Homeline panels.
This is a combination AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupter) breaker, meeting Canadian Electrical Code requirements for arc fault protection on applicable branch circuits. Not all QOB panel configurations accept AFCI breakers — send us your panel model and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
The QOB115VHAFI includes built-in combination arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) protection, which detects dangerous arcing conditions that standard breakers cannot. The standard QOB115 provides only overload and short-circuit protection. Canadian electrical codes require AFCI protection on many branch circuits in residential applications, so if you're doing a new installation or renovation, the AFCI model is likely the code-compliant choice.
The QOB series uses a bolt-on mounting style, which is different from the plug-in QO breakers used in most Square D QO residential loadcentres. This breaker is intended for QO bolt-on panelboards and loadcentres specifically designed to accept bolt-on breakers. If you're unsure whether your panel is bolt-on or plug-in, send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
