Product FAQs

7 answers
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.
