The QBA221101 is a thermal-magnetic MCCB from Square D's PowerPacT Q-Frame family, engineered for commercial power distribution. This 2-pole breaker installs into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It serves as a replacement for the legacy Q22110, offering an AB phase connection and load-side lugs. Rated for 10kAIC at 240VAC, the unit features fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. It includes a Visi-Trip indicator and is HACR rated for HVAC equipment.

Are there higher interrupting rating alternatives to the QBA221101?
Yes. The QBA221101 has a 10 kAIC rating at 240V. If your system requires a higher short-circuit current rating, Square D offers the QDA221101 (25 kAIC), QGA221101 (65 kAIC), and QJA221101 (100 kAIC) as direct I-Line plug-on replacements.
