How does this breaker connect to the panelboard bus?

This breaker features an I-Line plug-on line-side connection with an ABC phase arrangement. It plugs directly into the bus of Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.

What are the magnetic trip and hold current values for the QGA32175?

The fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit on this 175A breaker has a hold current of 1200A and a magnetic trip threshold of 2400A.

What does the G in the QGA32175 catalog number indicate?

In the PowerPacT Q-Frame series, the G designates the interrupting rating. It indicates a 65kAIC rating at 240VAC, which is higher than the QBA (10kAIC) and QDA (25kAIC) variants.
