QDA221754 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker Description
QDA221754 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker
The Square D QDA221754 PowerPacT Q circuit breaker is built for straightforward, reliable protection in 240V systems. At 175 amps with a 2-pole setup, it’s commonly used in commercial and light industrial panels where you need something that just works—day in and day out—without constant attention. It uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, so it reacts differently depending on the type of fault. Longer overloads and sudden short circuits are both handled appropriately, which helps protect your equipment without nuisance tripping. The 25kA interrupting rating also gives it the capacity to deal with higher fault levels when they happen. On the install side, it’s set up with I-Line connections on the line side, which makes it quicker to mount in compatible panelboards. The load side uses mechanical lugs, keeping things familiar and easy to wire. There’s also a push-to-trip button on the front—simple, but useful when you’re doing routine checks or troubleshooting.
