Engineered for commercial applications, the Square D QGP22150TM is a 2-pole, 150A molded case circuit breaker. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection for demanding distribution systems. This bolt-on MCCB installs into Square D EZ Meter-Pak metering centers. It accepts 4 AWG to 300 kcmil wiring, utilizing standard lug terminals for secure load-side connections. Rated at 65 kAIC at 240V, this Q-Frame breaker features a Visi-Trip indicator and is fully HACR rated.
What equipment is the QGP22150TM circuit breaker designed to fit?
This unit-mount breaker is specifically designed for use in Square D EZ Meter-Pak metering centers, including 225A MPL lever bypass metering equipment.
What does the letter G in the QGP22150TM part number indicate?
The letter G designates the interrupting rating tier within the Square D Q-Frame family. A QGP breaker provides a 65kA interrupting rating at 240V AC. Other tiers in this family include QBP (10kA), QDP (25kA), and QJP (100kA).
How is the QGP22150TM wired and mounted during installation?
This unit-mount breaker features a line-side terminal nut configuration for bolting directly to bus studs in Meter-Pak centers. The load side is equipped with mechanical lugs that accept 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors.
Where can I find the correct torque specifications for the load lugs?
Torque specifications are printed directly on the breaker faceplate label. Always use a calibrated torque tool during installation to ensure safe and code-compliant connections, preventing thermal issues caused by loose wiring.
Can I substitute a QDP22150TM or QJP22150TM for this breaker?
Yes, provided the interrupting rating meets or exceeds your system available fault current. The QDP version has a lower rating of 25kA, while the QJP version offers a higher rating of 100kA compared to the 65kA rating of the QGP. Always verify fault current requirements with a licensed professional before substituting.
What type of trip unit is installed in the QGP22150TM?
It features a non-interchangeable, fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. This provides standard LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) protection, meaning the thermal element protects against gradual overloads while the magnetic element responds immediately to short circuits.
Is this breaker compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards?
No. The QGP22150TM is a unit-mount, bolt-on breaker designed for metering centers and individual enclosures. It lacks the plug-on jaw connections required for installation in I-Line panelboards.
