Schneider Electric QO2200VH U Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric's Square D QO2200VH is a 200 A, two‑pole miniature circuit breaker designed for 120/240 V service. The VH suffix identifies a 22 kA interrupting rating, enabling safe operation in higher fault‑current installations where standard 10 kA devices may be inadequate. This plug‑on device is part of the QO family and is compatible with QO panelboards and load centers, allowing rapid, tool‑free replacement in residential and light commercial distribution systems. With a two‑pole design, it provides common‑trip operation to disconnect both hot legs of a split‑phase circuit, and it includes a visible‑trip indicator (Visi‑Trip) so you can see at a glance that the breaker has tripped. The unit is rated for 120/240 VAC operation and is used to protect large feeders and high‑demand branch circuits from overload and short circuits. As with all VH models, the QO2200VH is specified for environments where higher fault current is expected, offering greater protection margin in suitable applications. Always confirm that the specific enclosure and panel listing allow VH‑type QO breakers before installation.
