Delivering robust power distribution, the Square D Q232150H is a 3-pole, 150A molded case circuit breaker. It is equipped with thermal-magnetic trip units that provide essential long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. Engineered for compatibility, this Q2-H frame device installs into Square D I-Line panelboards. For modern upgrades, this model is replaced by the PowerPact QDA32150. With a high interrupting rating of 22kAIC at 240VAC, it features the signature Visi-Trip indicator.

Product FAQs
8 answers
What enclosures are compatible with the Q232150H circuit breaker?
This I-Line plug-in breaker mounts directly onto the stepped bus stack of Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. Its plug-on jaw connection is proprietary and will not fit standard NQ, NF, or QO load centers.
Is there a modern replacement for the legacy Q232150H?
Yes. The Square D legacy Q2 frame has been superseded by the PowerPact Q-frame series. The PowerPact QDA32150 serves as a direct drop-in replacement for I-Line panelboards, matching the physical footprint and electrical function.
How does the I-Line mounting system connect to the busbar?
I-Line breakers feature a molded plug-on jaw assembly that snaps directly onto the panelboard bus stack. This design allows for fast, secure installation without the need to bolt the breaker to the bus, though load-side conductors must still be terminated at the lugs.
What does the H suffix indicate in this catalog number?
In the legacy Q2 series, the H denotes a high-interrupting capacity model. While standard versions typically offer a 10 kA short-circuit rating, the H version provides an upgraded fault-clearing capability of 22 kA at 240V AC.
Does this breaker include ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. This unit relies on standard thermal-magnetic technology to provide long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection. It does not contain electronic GFCI or AFCI circuitry.
Can the trip settings be adjusted in the field for specific load requirements?
No. The thermal and magnetic trip elements on this molded case circuit breaker are fixed at the factory. Applications requiring adjustable coordination will need a breaker equipped with an electronic trip unit.
Will this breaker fit into an older Square D QMB panelboard?
No. QMB panelboards require specialized fusible switches or QMB-style plug-in breaker modules. This device is designed exclusively for the distinct bus structure of I-Line distribution equipment.
Are load-side lugs included with this breaker?
Yes, I-Line molded case breakers include mechanical lugs on the load side for terminating your outgoing circuit wiring. The line side receives its power through the integrated plug-on jaw assembly.
