Engineered for commercial applications, the Square D QDA221001 is a 2-pole, 100A MCCB from the PowerPacT Q-frame family. It provides robust long-time and instantaneous (LI) overcurrent protection. Featuring an I-Line mounting style with an AB phase connection, it installs into Square D I-Line panelboards. It also serves as a direct replacement for legacy Q221001 breakers. Rated 25kAIC at 240VAC, this unit includes a Visi-Trip indicator for quick fault identification.
Which panelboards accept the QDA221001 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed specifically for Square D I-Line power distribution panelboards and switchboards. It utilizes plug-on jaws to connect directly to the I-Line bus stack.
Is the QDA221001 a suitable replacement for legacy Q2 breakers?
Yes, the QDA221001 serves as a direct, modern replacement for older Square D Q221001 and Q221001H 100A 2-pole I-Line circuit breakers.
What does the letter D indicate in the QDA221001 catalog number?
In Square D PowerPacT Q-frame catalog numbers, the second letter designates the interrupting rating. The D indicates a 25kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC. For comparison, a QBA breaker is rated for 10kA, while a QGA is rated for 65kA.
What is the tightening torque for the load lugs on the QDA221001?
The load lugs on this breaker accept 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors and require a tightening torque of 247.8 lbf-in (28 N.m).
Can I adjust the trip curve on the QDA221001?
No. This breaker is equipped with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overcurrent and instantaneous short-circuit trip points are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
How does the I-Line plug-in connection work on this breaker?
The breaker features plug-on jaws that engage directly with the I-Line panelboard bus stack. It is then secured to the panelboard interior using a mounting screw to ensure a reliable connection.
What phase connection does the QDA221001 use?
The QDA221001 is configured for an AB phase connection on the I-Line bus. The final digit 1 in the catalog number designates this specific phase arrangement, whereas a 2 would indicate an AC connection.
