Panel Compatibility

The Square D QOU240 is part of the QOU series, a bolt-on / DIN rail breaker designed primarily for Square D QO loadcentres and panelboards that accept bolt-on style breakers, as well as DIN rail-mounted enclosures and distribution boards. Its 2-pole, 40A, 120/240V, 10kA rating suits both residential and light commercial panel installations. Note: QOU bolt-on breakers are not interchangeable with standard QO plug-on breakers — confirm your panel accepts bolt-on QOU devices before ordering. Send us your panel model and we'll confirm compatibility.

The QOU series uses a bolt-on / DIN rail mounting style, whereas the standard QO series uses a plug-on connection. While both share the same 120/240V platform and are Square D products, they are not directly interchangeable. The QOU240 must be installed in a panel or enclosure specifically designed to accept bolt-on or DIN rail breakers. If you're unsure which type your panel requires, send us your panel model and we'll help confirm the correct breaker.

Yes. The QOU240 is a 2-pole breaker rated at 40A and 120/240V, making it well suited for double-pole 240V branch circuits — common applications include electric dryers, water heaters, EV chargers, and HVAC equipment. Its 10kA interrupting rating meets typical residential and light commercial fault-current levels in Canada.
