QBA222001 - 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

QBA222001 - 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

The QBA222001 is a 200 amp, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for use in PowerPact Q-Frame systems with I-Line, plug-on mounting. Built for 240VAC applications with a 10kA interrupting rating, this thermal magnetic circuit breaker provides dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems. Engineered for proper form, fit, and function within compatible Q-Frame panelboards and switchboards, the QBA222001 is well-suited for maintaining existing electrical infrastructure where consistent protection and code-compliant performance are essential. Its thermal magnetic trip mechanism responds to both sustained overloads and instantaneous fault conditions, helping safeguard conductors and connected equipment.

Designed with durability in mind, this molded case circuit breaker is built to last in demanding electrical environments while maintaining compatibility with existing PowerPact Q-Frame I-Line assemblies. The plug-on design allows for secure installation in the appropriate panel configuration, making it a practical solution for replacement or system maintenance projects requiring a 200A, 2-pole breaker rated at 10kA @ 240VAC.
