Best Answer

The home type used to be a little less expensive, and they do not have the little red flag when the breaker trips, The qo has the little red flag, which is eaiser to see, which breaker is tripped when you open the panel door the little red flag you can see where with the home style you look for the breaker that is not completly on. To me it was a step backwards with the introduction of the home style breaker we have installed both panels and Q O I prefer. And the breakers are not interchanable from panel to panel

What is the difference between dead tank type and live tank type current transformer?

The enclosure that houses winding in other words the tank is at line potential while in the other case it is at earth potential. it is the same in case of circuit breakers too. From NK Sharath Kumar cell 93412 55090 res fax 080 22290151,l/l 080 22233669,sharathkumar@vsnl.net With live tank circuit breakers, the enclosure that houses the contacts is energized, ie. "live". Dead tank circuit breaker's contact enclosures are not energized and are connected to the ground grid. Live tank breakers are usually less expensive but you have to have separate current transformers.


What does QP on a square D breaker stand for?

A QP type breaker is made by Siemens for a Siemens distribution panel and should not be interchanged with Square D. A Siemens QP type bolt in breaker will bolt into a SQ distribution panel but it is up to the electrical inspector to make the call as to it being safe or not. Square D breaker types are QO and QB. You might be mistaking the QP for a QB on the breaker. The QO breaker is a plug in breaker usually used in home wiring and the QB is a bolt in breaker. QB breakers are usually specified for industrial and commercial use.

What is difference between shunt trip and ground fault circuit breaker?

Ground fault breakers monitor the current on the neutral wire flowing back to the neutral bar, a 4 to 6mA difference will trip the breaker, Shunt trip breakers on the other hand can be tripped remotely from some other type of switch or location. In industrial applications it is used to shut power off in an emergency situation, when access to an electrical panel may denied.

What is the difference between b type c type and d type miniature circuit breakers?

The different types are rated by how much current above its rated current will trip the breaker instantly (less than 100ms). Type B 3-5 times. Type C 5-10 times. Type D10-20 times. For example a 10amp type B breaker will instantly trip (less than 100ms) at between 30-50amps.
