Product FAQs
7 answers
What panelboards and enclosures are compatible with the QGL32080?
This unit mount PowerPacT Q-frame breaker is compatible with Square D individual enclosures, metering devices, switchboards, and panelboards designed to accept Q-frame breakers.
Can the QGL32080 be used to replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, PowerPacT Q-frame circuit breakers are direct replacements for legacy Square D Q2 series devices of the same amperage and pole configuration.
What is the difference between the QGL32080 and other Q-frame breakers like the QDL or QJL?
The primary difference is the interrupting rating. At 240V AC, the QBL is rated for 10kA, the QDL for 25kA, the QGL for 65kA, and the QJL for 100kA. They share the same physical dimensions and mounting configurations.
What is the required lug torque for the QGL32080 terminals?
The factory-installed lugs require a tightening torque of 248 lb-in (28 N.m) for wire sizes ranging from 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper.
Does the QGL32080 include line and load lugs?
Yes, as a unit mount breaker, it comes standard with mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides for cabled applications.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The thermal magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (L) protection for sustained overloads and Instantaneous (I) protection for short circuits. Both the thermal and magnetic trip points are fixed on this model.
Can this breaker be used on a 480V or 600V system?
No, the QGL32080 has a maximum voltage rating of 240V AC and is not rated for use on 480V or 600V electrical systems.
