Product FAQs
8 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the QDA221504?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line plug-on connection for the line side.
How much mounting space does the QDA221504 require in an I-Line panel?
As a 2-pole Q-frame breaker, it requires 3 inches of vertical bus mounting space (1.5 inches per pole).
What is the difference between the QDA221504, QGA221504, and QJA221504?
The difference is the interrupting rating. The QDA is rated for 25kA at 240VAC, the QGA is rated for 65kA, and the QJA is rated for 100kA. All three share the same physical dimensions and mounting style.
Can the QDA221504 replace older Square D Q2 series breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT Q-frame is the direct manufacturer replacement for legacy Square D Q2 series circuit breakers.
What does the LI trip function indicate on this breaker?
LI stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous. The long-time function provides thermal protection against gradual overloads, while the instantaneous function provides magnetic protection against sudden short circuits.
What wire types and sizes are accepted by the load lugs?
The standard factory lugs accept either aluminum or copper conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 300 kcmil.
What does the A in the QDA221504 catalog number signify?
The A indicates the connection type. It specifies that the breaker has an I-Line plug-on connection on the ON (line) end and mechanical lugs on the OFF (load) end.
Does the QDA221504 provide ground fault or equipment protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker. It does not include built-in ground fault (GFCI) or equipment protection (EPD) features.
