Product FAQs
8 answers
What enclosures and panelboards accept the QGL32090 breaker?
This unit mount PowerPacT Q-frame breaker is designed for installation in Square D individual enclosures, metering devices, switchboards, and specific panelboards configured for unit mount Q-frame breakers. It is not compatible with I-Line or standard plug-on load centers.
Can I use the QGL32090 to replace an older Q2 series breaker?
Yes, the PowerPacT Q-frame is a direct replacement for legacy Square D Q2 series devices. The QGL32090 can directly replace a discontinued Q23090 circuit breaker in existing installations.
What is the required lug torque for the QGL32090 terminals?
The factory lugs accept 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper wire and should be torqued to 248 lb-in (28 N.m).
Is the QGL32090 circuit breaker suitable for reverse feeding?
Yes, standard PowerPacT Q-frame thermal-magnetic breakers like the QGL32090 can be reverse fed. However, they cannot be reverse fed if equipped with factory-installed ground-fault (GFM) or earth-leakage (ELM) modules.
Does this breaker include lugs on both the line and load sides?
Yes, as a unit mount circuit breaker, the QGL32090 comes standard with mechanical lugs on both the line and load ends for cabled applications.
How can I manually test the mechanical operation of the QGL32090?
This breaker features an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. Pressing this button manually trips the mechanism to verify proper mechanical operation and exercises the trip linkage.
What is the difference between QBL, QDL, QGL, and QJL breakers?
The third letter in the PowerPacT Q-frame catalog number indicates the interrupting rating at 240V. QBL is rated 10kA, QDL is 25kA, QGL is 65kA, and QJL is 100kA. The QGL32090 provides a 65kA rating.
Is the QGL32090 HACR rated?
Yes, this PowerPacT Q-frame breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for overcurrent protection in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.
