QDA220701 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

QDA220701 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you’re looking for a dependable breaker for a 240V system, the QDA220701 PowerPacT Q is a solid, no-drama choice. It’s built to handle everyday protection duties—keeping circuits safe from overloads and short circuits without overcomplicating things. This is a 70 amp, 2-pole circuit breaker designed for distribution applications where reliability matters. The thermal-magnetic trip does exactly what you expect—it reacts fast when there’s a problem, but stays stable during normal operation. That balance is what keeps nuisance trips down while still protecting your equipment. Installation is pretty straightforward. You’ve got an I-Line connection on the line side, which helps speed things up in compatible panels, and mechanical lugs on the load side for a secure connection. It’s the kind of setup most electricians are already comfortable with. One feature people tend to appreciate is the push-to-trip button right on the front. It makes testing quick and easy, especially during routine maintenance. No extra tools, no second guessing. With a 25kA interrupting rating, this breaker can handle higher fault conditions without breaking a sweat, making it a good fit for commercial and light industrial setups.
