What panelboards are compatible with the QJA221501 breaker?
This I-Line style plug-in breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit QO, Homeline, NQ, or NF series panels.
What does the "J" in the QJA221501 catalog number signify?
The "J" designates the interrupting rating for this PowerPacT Q-Frame breaker. It indicates a high interrupting capacity of 100kA at 240VAC.
Are there alternative interrupting ratings available for this 150A 2-pole breaker?
Yes. If your system does not require a 100kA rating, the Square D Q-Frame series also includes the QBA (10kA), QDA (25kA), and QGA (65kA) models for 240VAC applications.
What does the "1" suffix at the end of the QJA221501 part number indicate?
The "1" suffix specifies the phase connection for the I-Line plug-on jaws. For a 2-pole breaker, this indicates an AB phase connection to the panelboard bus.
What wire sizes do the load-side lugs on this breaker accept?
The mechanical lugs on the QJA221501 are rated to accept 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors. The line side utilizes the I-Line plug-on connection.
Can the QJA221501 be reverse fed in an I-Line panelboard?
Yes, Square D PowerPacT Q-Frame circuit breakers are UL listed for both forward and reverse-fed applications.
What type of protection does the LI trip unit on this breaker provide?
The thermal-magnetic trip unit features fixed Long-Time (L) protection to handle sustained overloads and fixed Instantaneous (I) protection to clear short-circuit faults.
