Product FAQs

4 answers
How does the I-Line connection on the Q221175BC work?

The breaker features plug-on jaws on the line side that clamp directly onto the I-Line panelboard bus assembly. The load side utilizes standard mechanical lugs for wire termination.

What does the BC suffix mean in the Q221175BC catalog number?

The BC suffix indicates the factory-configured phase connection. This 2-pole breaker is designed to connect specifically to the B and C phases of a 3-phase I-Line bus.

What is the active replacement for the legacy Q221175BC?

The Q2 frame is a legacy series that has been superseded by the PowerPact Q-frame. The direct modern equivalent for a 175A, 2-pole, BC-phase I-Line breaker is catalog number QBA221754.

What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?

The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The thermal Long-Time element protects against sustained overloads, while the magnetic Instantaneous element provides immediate tripping during short circuits.
