Built for robust commercial and industrial power distribution, this 150-amp thermal-magnetic breaker ensures dependable overcurrent protection. The unit fastens securely into Square D I-Line panelboards, specifically utilizing an A-C phase connection to help balance panel loads. Rated for 10kA fault current, it features the signature Visi-Trip flag for rapid fault identification and serves as a predecessor to the modern PowerPact QBA221502 series.
Is the Square D Q221150AC circuit breaker still manufactured?
No, the Q2 series frame is obsolete and has been discontinued by Schneider Electric. It has been directly replaced by the modern PowerPact Q-Frame series. For a direct 150A, 2-pole I-Line replacement with an AC phase connection, the modern equivalent is catalog number QBA221502.
What does the AC suffix indicate on the Q221150AC catalog number?
The AC suffix specifies the phase connection for the I-Line plug-on mounting. It means this 2-pole breaker is configured to connect specifically to the A and C phases on the panelboard bus, which helps facility managers balance electrical loads across the panel.
Which panelboards are compatible with the Q221150AC circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features the specialized I-Line plug-on mounting bracket and jaws, so it will not fit in standard NQ, NQOD, or Homeline load centers.
What is the purpose of the Visi-Trip indicator on this Q2 frame breaker?
The Visi-Trip indicator is a highly visible red flag that appears in the breaker window when it trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit. This allows electricians and maintenance personnel to quickly identify the tripped breaker in a crowded I-Line panelboard during troubleshooting.
Is the Q221150AC suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires specialized overcurrent protection for motor-driven closed-loop systems.
Does the Q221150AC require a separate mounting hardware kit?
No, the Q221150AC features an integrated I-Line mounting bracket and plug-on jaws. It is designed to snap directly onto the I-Line bus and secure with a retaining screw, requiring no additional mounting hardware kits.
Can the trip settings on the Q221150AC be adjusted?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short circuit trip thresholds are factory set and cannot be modified in the field.
