Product FAQs

5 answers
What does the "3" suffix mean in the QDA221253 catalog number?

The "3" indicates a BA phase connection on the I-Line bus. In Square D's numbering system for 2-pole breakers, a "1" is for AB phase, "2" is for AC phase, and "3" is for BA phase.

Is the QDA221253 a direct replacement for older Q2 series breakers?

Yes, the PowerPacT Q-frame line is the direct replacement for the discontinued Square D Q2 Series. Specifically, the QDA221253 replaces the obsolete Q22125BA catalog number.

Can I install the QDA221253 in a standard QO or Homeline load center?

No, the QDA221253 features an I-Line plug-in connection and is exclusively compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard residential load centers.

Is the QDA221253 suitable for 480V or 600V applications?

No, this Q-frame breaker is rated for a maximum of 240VAC. Commercial or industrial systems requiring 480V or 600V protection will need a different breaker family, such as the PowerPacT B, H, or J-frame.

What do the letters "QDA" mean in this breaker's catalog number?

"Q" identifies the PowerPacT Q-frame family. "D" indicates the interrupting rating tier (25kA at 240VAC), distinguishing it from the standard "B" (10kA) or higher "G" (65kA) tiers. "A" specifies the I-Line plug-in mounting style.
