QDA221002 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

QDA221002 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric QDA221002 PowerPacT Q circuit breaker is one of those parts you install and don’t have to think about again. It’s a 100 amp, 2-pole breaker built for 240V systems, and it does exactly what you expect—protects your equipment when something goes wrong, without overcomplicating things. It uses a thermal-magnetic trip, so it reacts to both overloads and short circuits the way it should. Nothing fancy, just reliable protection where it counts. With a 25kA interrupting rating, it’s capable of handling higher fault conditions, which makes it a good fit for a wide range of commercial and light industrial setups. On the install side, it’s pretty straightforward. The I-Line connection helps it seat quickly into the panel, and the lug terminals on the load side give you room to work with different wire sizes. There’s also a push-to-trip button, which is handy when you need to test it without guessing. All in all, it’s a dependable breaker that fits into your system and just does its job.
