Providing essential protection, the Square D QBA221754 is a 175A, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker. This PowerPacT Q-Frame unit features fixed thermal and magnetic trip elements for LI defense. This breaker mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a factory-configured BC phase connection and serves as a direct substitute for the legacy Q22175. Rated for 10kAIC at 240VAC, the QBA221754 is HACR rated. The Visi-Trip indicator provides clear visual confirmation.
What type of panelboards are compatible with the QBA221754 circuit breaker?
The QBA221754 is an I-Line style plug-in breaker designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is not compatible with standard QO or Homeline load centers.
What is the difference between Square D QBA, QDA, QGA, and QJA breakers?
The second letter in the catalog number indicates the interrupting capacity of the breaker at 240V. The QBA series is rated for 10kAIC, while QDA is 25kAIC, QGA is 65kAIC, and QJA is 100kAIC. Ensure the interrupting rating meets or exceeds the available fault current of your system.
How are wire connections made on the QBA221754?
The line side of the QBA221754 plugs directly into the I-Line panelboard bus and does not require wiring. The load side features factory-installed mechanical lugs that accept 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper wire.
Can the QBA221754 replace older Square D Q2 series breakers?
Yes, PowerPact Q-frame breakers like the QBA221754 are the direct modern replacements for legacy Q2 series breakers in I-Line panels. You must verify that the 10kAIC rating meets your current system requirements, as some older Q2 breakers had higher interrupting capacities.
What does the number 4 at the end of the QBA221754 catalog number indicate?
For Square D I-Line breakers, the final digit specifies the phase connection. The number 4 in QBA221754 indicates that this 2-pole breaker is factory-configured to connect to the B and C phases on the panelboard bus.
Does the QBA221754 include a push-to-trip feature?
Yes, this breaker includes a push-to-trip button on the faceplate. This safety feature allows electricians to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism during maintenance.
