QGP22100TP - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

QGP22100TP - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The QGP22100TP circuit breaker is a high-interrupting capacity, 2-pole, 100 amp thermal magnetic breaker designed to deliver dependable overcurrent protection in demanding commercial and industrial power distribution systems. Built on the QGP frame with a non-interchangeable trip unit, this breaker combines precise thermal overload protection with fast magnetic short-circuit response. With a powerful 65kA interrupting rating at 240VAC, it is well-suited for applications where fault current levels require a higher level of protection and reliability. The line side features durable 1/4-20" studs, while the load side is equipped with lug terminals, allowing for secure and straightforward installation in compatible panelboards and switchgear assemblies.

When electrical protection cannot be left to chance, the QGP22100TP provides consistent performance, helping safeguard equipment, minimize downtime, and support code-compliant system design.
