The QBA221502 is a 150A, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker from Square D's PowerPacT Q-Frame family. It provides thermal-magnetic protection with long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. Designed for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, this unit features a plug-on line-side connection and an AC phase configuration. Rated for 10kAIC at 240VAC, this HACR-rated breaker includes a Visi-Trip indicator for quick fault identification. It substitutes for the QDA221502.
What type of panelboards is the QBA221502 compatible with?
This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection and is exclusively designed for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit standard NQ or NF series panels.
What is the difference between the QBA, QDA, QGA, and QJA circuit breakers?
The difference lies in their interrupting ratings at 240VAC. The QBA series is rated at 10kAIC, QDA at 25kAIC, QGA at 65kAIC, and QJA at 100kAIC. They share the same physical Q-Frame dimensions and I-Line mounting.
What is the recommended lug torque for the load side terminals on this breaker?
The load side mechanical lugs should be torqued to 248 lb-in (28 N.m) for 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors.
Can the QBA221502 replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT Q-frame circuit breakers are direct replacements for legacy Square D Q2 series devices with matching pole counts and amperages.
What are the magnetic trip settings for the QBA221502?
This 150A thermal-magnetic breaker has fixed trip settings, featuring a magnetic hold current of 1200A and a magnetic tripping current of 2400A.
Does this breaker provide ground fault or equipment protection?
No, the QBA221502 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker equipped with long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. It does not include integral ground fault (GFI) or equipment protection (EPD) features.
Can the QBA221502 I-Line breaker be reverse fed?
No. Because this is an I-Line breaker with plug-on jaws on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side, it is strictly designed for forward feeding from the panelboard bus.
