ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Square D Type QO 40A Tandem?

Hi all,

I'm wondering if Square D Type QO Breakers come in tandem form (skinny taking up 1 slot only) for 30 & 40A. I can't seem to find them. I do find tandems in 15 & 20A though.

Reason : Installing arc-fault in a panel filled with all tandems (15/20), there is no more room. There are 3 double pole breakers each which take up 2 spaces. They are 40, 40, 30A.

So I'm not adding additional circuits, just arc-faults don't come in tandem. I'm trying to replace a 40, 40 or 30 with a skinny tandem and free up some room...otherwise replace panel.

Much appreciated.
