QGP22100TM - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

QGP22100TM - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you’re working on a 240V system with high available fault current, the QGP22100TM is built for that kind of job. This is a 100 amp, 2-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker on a QGP frame, rated for 65kA at 240VAC, making it suitable for commercial and industrial electrical distribution where safety margins matter. It combines time-delay thermal protection for overloads with instantaneous magnetic protection for short circuits, helping protect wiring, panels, and connected equipment from damage.

This breaker features a non-interchangeable trip unit, meaning the trip setting is factory-calibrated and fixed, which helps maintain consistent protection. On the line side, you’ll find 1/4-20” studs, while the load side uses lug terminals, offering a secure and practical connection setup for many panel configurations. With a compact profile (6.5” height) and a ship weight of 3 lbs, it’s a straightforward fit in properly rated equipment designed for the QGP frame.
