I did see a QO breaker fail to trip on a 24 volt DC system with only
battery voltage behind it. It burned a #12 wire completely in two.
The 48v is a max rating not a nominal rating.
So yes only good for 12 and 24v systems.
However with CBI breakers I don't understand why the need for QO for
DC anymore?
