CHARACTERISTICS • Circuit breakers are rated 240 Vac single-phase and 415 Vac three-
phase, 50/60 Hz, 3–100 A.
• Circuit breakers are available in 1-, 2- or 3-pole construction.
• Thermal trip elements are factory calibrated to 40°C (IEC 947-2) and
30°C (IEC 898) ambient temperature.
• RCBO devices available with 10 mA, 30 mA and 100 mA residual
current protection.
• Trip-free handle ensures tripping even when the circuit breaker is held or
locked in the ON position.
• Circuit breakers are in compliance with international standards set by
the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
• The CE marking is located on each circuit breaker in accordance with
the low-voltage directive of the European Union.
• The entire QO circuit breaker family provides the advantage of a plug-on
connection. (Bolt-on connections also available.)
Advantages of the Plug-on System • A 50% reduction on installation time compared to a lug/lug (DIN)
alternative.
• No link bars to fit and tighten.
• Contact jaws automatically align the circuit breakers in the equipment.
• High short circuits result in an increase in jaw pressure reducing the
potential for hazardous arcs on the line side of the circuit breaker.

QO-MBGX MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKERS QO-MBGX main circuit breakers with residual current protection are
WITH RESIDUAL CURRENT designed for use as incoming main devices for single-phase consumer unit
PROTECTION applications.
• Compliance with International Standards: Certified to IEC 61009-1
Figure 6: QO-MBGX Circuit Breaker 10 kA at 240 Vac when used as a main incomer on single-phase
07393009 systems, 50/60 Hz, CE marked.
• ON/OFF Indication: ON/OFF markings are on the face of the circuit
breaker along with the international I/O markings.
• Handle Operation: Trip-free handle through an over-center toggle
mechanism that ensures tripping even when the handle is held or locked
in the ON position.
• Trip Indication: Indication of a tripped circuit breaker on overload, short
circuit or residual current ground fault is by location of the handle in the
center position. The circuit breaker is also equipped with the Square D
exclusive Visi-Trip® indicator (a luminescent, red trip indicator on the
front of the circuit breaker).
• Push-to-test Function: A yellow push-to-test button is positioned on
the front of the device for testing the residual current electronic trip
circuit and mechanical tripping interface.
• Thermal Trip Element: Thermal trip elements are factory calibrated at
40°C ambient temperature
• Residual Current Protection: Residual ground-fault trip currents are
factory set at 30 mA.
