Product FAQs

8 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the Square D QDA32225?

This breaker is exclusively designed for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features integral mounting jaws that plug directly onto the panel bus stack.

Can I install this I-Line breaker in a Square D NQ or NF panelboard?

No, the QDA32225 utilizes I-Line plug-on jaws and is not physically compatible with the bus structure of NQ or NF panelboards.

What wire sizes do the load lugs on the QDA32225 accept?

The factory-installed mechanical lugs accept aluminum or copper conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 300 kcmil.

Can the QDA32225 be used in 480V or 600V distribution systems?

No. This PowerPacT Q-Frame breaker is strictly rated for a maximum system voltage of 240VAC. Applying it to 480V or 600V systems violates its UL listing and poses a severe safety hazard.

What does the LI designation mean for this breaker's trip unit?

The LI designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides fixed Long-Time (overload) and fixed Instantaneous (short-circuit) protection. Neither trip threshold is field-adjustable.

What is the difference between the QDA, QBA, QGA, and QJA frame prefixes?

These prefixes denote the short-circuit interrupting capacity (AIC) of the Square D PowerPacT Q-Frame breakers at 240VAC. The QDA provides 25kAIC, while the QBA provides 10kA, QGA provides 65kA, and QJA provides 100kA.

Does the QDA32225 provide ground-fault or arc-fault protection?

No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed exclusively for overcurrent and short-circuit protection. It does not include GFCI or AFCI functionality.

Does this Q-Frame breaker accept interchangeable rating plugs?

No, the QDA32225 features a fixed 225-amp thermal-magnetic trip unit. It does not support interchangeable rating plugs or field-installable trip block upgrades.
