Product FAQs

8 answers
What does the '1' at the end of the QDA221751 catalog number indicate?

The '1' suffix specifies that this breaker is configured for an AB phase connection in an I-Line panelboard. Other variants include the QDA221752 for AC phase and QDA221754 for BC phase connections.

What panels are compatible with the QDA221751 breaker?

This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line plug-on connection on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side.

Can I use the QDA221751 to replace an older Q2 series breaker?

Yes, the PowerPacT Q-Frame QDA221751 is a direct replacement for the legacy Square D Q221751 circuit breaker.

How does the QDA frame compare to other Square D Q-Frame breakers like the QBA or QGA?

The primary difference is the interrupting rating. The QDA frame provides 25kAIC at 240VAC, whereas the QBA frame is rated for 10kAIC, the QGA for 65kAIC, and the QJA for 100kAIC.

What is the recommended tightening torque for the load-side lugs on this breaker?

The load-side lugs accept 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper wire and should be torqued to 248 lb-in (28 N.m) during installation.

Does this breaker include a push-to-trip feature for testing?

Yes, all PowerPacT Q-Frame circuit breakers feature an integral push-to-trip button on the cover, allowing you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation.

What safety precautions should be taken before installing this I-Line breaker?

Always de-energize the panelboard or switchboard before installation. Ensure the breaker is in the OFF or TRIPPED position before engaging the I-Line jaws onto the bus assembly to prevent arcing.

Is the QDA221751 rated for continuous loads at 100% of its capacity?

No, this is a standard-rated breaker, meaning it is rated for continuous operation at 80% of its 175-amp capacity.
