The QDL22225 is a 2-pole, 225A molded case circuit breaker from Square D's PowerPacT Q-Frame family. Built for commercial and industrial distribution, it delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection. This unit-mount breaker installs into Square D individual enclosures, panelboards, and switchboards, serving as an exact replacement for legacy Q22225 breakers. Rated 25kAIC at 240VAC, it features fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions and includes standard line and load lugs.
What enclosures and panelboards are compatible with the QDL22225?
This PowerPacT Q-frame unit-mount breaker is compatible with Square D individual enclosures, metering devices, switchboards, and panelboards designed to accept unit-mount Q-frame breakers. It is not compatible with I-Line panelboards, which require Q-frame breakers with an I-Line connection.
Is the QDL22225 a direct replacement for older Q2 series breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT Q-frame circuit breaker is a direct replacement for legacy Square D Q2 Series devices of the same configuration.
Can the QDL22225 be reverse fed?
Yes. Standard thermal-magnetic PowerPacT Q-frame breakers can be reverse fed, allowing for flexible installation in enclosures or panels.
What is the difference between the QDL, QBL, QGL, and QJL breakers?
The difference is the interrupting rating (AIC) at 240VAC. The QBL is rated at 10kAIC, the QDL is 25kAIC, the QGL is 65kAIC, and the QJL is 100kAIC. They share the same physical dimensions and mounting configurations.
Is the QDL22225 rated for DC voltage applications?
No. The PowerPacT Q-frame circuit breakers, including the QDL22225, are designed and rated exclusively for AC systems and do not carry a DC voltage rating.
What is the recommended lug torque for the QDL22225?
The factory-installed line and load lugs should be torqued to 248 lb-in (28 N.m) for 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper wire. Always verify with the label on the breaker prior to installation.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the QDL22225?
No. This breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with a magnetic hold current of 1200A and a magnetic tripping current of 2400A.
