Operating at 240VAC, the Square D Q232200 is a 3-pole, 200A molded case circuit breaker engineered for commercial applications. It utilizes a rugged Q2 frame to ensure consistent performance in heavy-duty environments. This unit integrates into Square D I-Line panelboards using a standard plug-on phase connection. When modernizing older switchgear, this legacy component crosses over to the PowerPact QBA32200. The breaker features a 10kAIC rating and fixed long-time and instantaneous trip.
Which panelboards are compatible with the Q232200 circuit breaker?
This breaker is specifically designed for use in Square D I-Line power distribution panelboards and switchboards. It will not mount in standard load centers or bolt-on NQ and NF panelboards.
What is the modern replacement for the obsolete Square D Q232200?
The Q2 series is a legacy frame that has been discontinued by Schneider Electric. The direct, manufacturer-recommended replacement for this 200A, 3-pole I-Line breaker is the PowerPact Q-Frame model QBA32200.
How does the I-Line connection work for mounting this breaker?
The Q232200 features an I-Line plug-on mounting system on the line side. The breaker jaws engage directly onto the panelboard's central phase bus stack, eliminating the need to terminate separate line-side cables.
How much panel space does this 3-pole Q-Frame breaker require?
The Q232200 measures 4.5 inches wide, which means it will occupy exactly 4.5 inches of vertical mounting space on the I-Line bus.
Can the Q232200 be installed in a 277V or 480V electrical system?
No. This breaker has a maximum voltage rating of 240VAC and an interrupting rating of 10kA at that voltage. It is strictly rated for 240V or lower systems, such as 208Y/120V, and cannot be used in 277V or 480V applications.
Are load lugs included with the Q232200?
Yes, this breaker comes standard with factory-installed load side lugs. These lugs are dual-rated for aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 300 kcmil.
What does the LI trip function on this breaker indicate?
The LI code stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous. The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time protection for sustained overloads and Instantaneous protection against sudden short circuits. Both trip thresholds are fixed on the Q232200.
