Product FAQs

8 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the QDA221251 circuit breaker?

The QDA221251 features an I-Line plug-in mounting style and is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard NQ, NF, or QO series panels.

What does the "1" at the end of the QDA221251 catalog number indicate?

The "1" suffix indicates that this breaker is factory-configured for an AB phase connection on the I-Line bus. If your installation requires an AC or BC phase connection, a different catalog number suffix is needed.

Can the QDA221251 be used to replace older Square D breakers?

Yes, the PowerPacT Q-Frame QDA221251 is a direct drop-in replacement for legacy Square D Q221251 circuit breakers. Both models share the same physical dimensions and I-Line mounting configuration.

How much mounting space does the QDA221251 require on an I-Line bus?

As a 2-pole Q-Frame breaker, the QDA221251 requires 3 inches of vertical mounting height on the I-Line panelboard or switchboard bus.

What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the QDA221251?

The factory-installed mechanical lugs on this breaker are dual-rated for both aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) conductors, accepting wire sizes from 4 AWG up to 300 kcmil.

Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on the QDA221251?

No, this breaker is equipped with a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time (L) and instantaneous (I) trip functions are factory-set and cannot be modified in the field.

What does the "D" in the QDA221251 part number signify?

In the Square D PowerPacT Q-Frame catalog numbering system, the "D" indicates a D-interrupting rating. This provides a maximum interrupting capacity of 25kA at 240VAC.

Can the QDA221251 be used on a 208Y/120V system?

Yes, while it has a maximum voltage rating of 240VAC, it is fully rated for use on 208Y/120VAC systems, maintaining its 25kA interrupting rating at that voltage.
