Are the QOM2200VH and QOM2150VH circuit breakers physically the same?


I'm 99.9% certain they are, but supplier told me they're not and has me questioning myself.

Anyone know for sure?



purpose of this is they can't have me a 150A 3r panel for up to two weeks; i can have a 200A by wednesday and planned on swapping the mains when the 150A came in. i need the cabinet installed by thurs. anyone see a potential code problem here inspector might catch me on?

Same size, swap `em all the time.

Anyone who tells you different is blowing smoke

It's no problem. Here's the FAQ directly from Square D:

Can I replace a QOM2200VH in a Homeline Load Center with a QOM2150VH?
Yes. You can always lower the Load Centers main breaker ampere rating, but not increase it.
