What panelboards are compatible with the QJA221001 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line style plug-in connection and cannot be installed in standard load centers or NQ/NF panels.
What does the "1" at the end of the QJA221001 catalog number signify?
The "1" suffix indicates a factory-configured AB phase connection for the I-Line bus. When installing this 2-pole breaker, it will draw power from the A and B phases of the panelboard.
Can I install the QJA221001 in a 3-phase panelboard?
Yes, you can install this 2-pole breaker in a 3-phase I-Line panelboard. Because of its AB phase configuration, it will simply connect to the A and B phases of the 3-phase bus stack.
What does the "J" in the QJA221001 catalog number indicate?
In the PowerPacT Q-Frame nomenclature, the "J" designates the interrupting rating. It indicates that the breaker has a high interrupting capacity of 100kA at 240VAC.
