Product FAQs
7 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the QJA32175?
This breaker is built exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It uses an I-Line style plug-in connection and cannot be installed in standard load centers or NQ/NF panels.
How much mounting space does the QJA32175 take up in an I-Line panel?
As a 3-pole Q-frame breaker, it requires 4.5 inches of I-Line mounting space.
What does the J in the QJA32175 part number represent?
The J designates the interrupting capacity tier. In the PowerPacT Q-frame family, the QJA tier provides a 100kAIC rating at 240VAC, which is higher than the standard QB, QD, or QG tiers.
Can the QJA32175 replace a QBA32175, QDA32175, or QGA32175?
Yes. All of these are 3-pole Q-frame breakers that share the same physical dimensions and 4.5-inch I-Line mounting space. The QJA32175 can replace the QB, QD, or QG versions and will upgrade the interrupting capacity to 100kAIC.
Are the trip settings on the QJA32175 adjustable?
No. This thermal-magnetic breaker has fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip elements for its long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection functions.
What wire gauge is supported by the QJA32175 lugs?
The standard factory lugs accept aluminum or copper wire ranging from 4 AWG up to 300 kcmil.
Is the QJA32175 rated for 480V applications?
No, the maximum voltage rating for this breaker is 240VAC. It is strictly for use on 120V, 208V, or 240V AC systems.
