Product FAQs
5 answersCan I install the QJA222254 in a standard NQ or NF panelboard?
No, the QJA222254 is an I-Line breaker and is not compatible with NQ or NF panelboards. It is designed specifically for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, utilizing a plug-on connection to the interior bus.
How much mounting space does this 2-pole Q-frame breaker require in an I-Line panel?
The QJA222254 requires 3 inches of vertical mounting space. PowerPacT Q-frame breakers require 1.5 inches of space per pole.
Can the QJA222254 be reverse fed for use as a main breaker?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker can be reverse fed. When installed as a backfed main in an I-Line panelboard, it must be properly secured and labeled as the main breaker to comply with NEC requirements.
What do the letters Q, J, and A represent in the QJA222254 catalog number?
The Q designates the PowerPacT Q-frame family. The J indicates the high interrupting rating of 100kAIC at 240VAC. The A specifies the I-Line plug-on mounting style.
Can the QJA222254 replace older Square D Q2 series breakers?
Yes, PowerPacT Q-frame circuit breakers are direct replacements for legacy Q2 series devices in I-Line panelboards. They fit into the same mounting space without requiring enclosure modifications.
