What legacy Square D breaker does the QGA32175 replace?
The QGA32175 serves as a direct replacement for the legacy Q23175 circuit breaker. It matches the original dimensions and mounts directly into the same I-Line panelboards.
What is the required tightening torque for the load lugs on this breaker?
The mechanical load lugs on the QGA32175 require a tightening torque of 247.8 lb-in (28 N.m) when terminating 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper wire.
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.
