Delivering reliable long-time and instantaneous trip functions, this 90A molded case circuit breaker is a staple for heavy-duty electrical distribution. The lug-equipped unit mount design integrates smoothly into Square D Q2 enclosures, switchboards, and specialized control panels. Facility managers frequently utilize this model to replace aging Q22090 breakers. It features a HACR rating and a quick-make/quick-break mechanism to maintain consistent operational safety.
