Square D QDP32200TM - 200 A, 240 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Square D QDP32200TM—the bolt-on, molded case circuit breaker designed to safeguard your most critical electrical loads. Rated for 200 A at 240 V and built as a 3-pole device, it delivers reliable protection for branch circuits in panelboards and load centers.

Key features that set this breaker apart:

• Secure bolt-on mounting provides a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection for dependable long-term performance.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection—thermal protection for overloads and magnetic trip for short circuits, helping you minimize nuisance trips while guarding life-safety loads.
• OEM-compatible design ensures seamless integration with matching Square D load centers and panelboards, making replacements and upgrades straightforward.
• Versatile application suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments, where robust protection and reliable operation are critical.
• High-current capability 200 A at 240 V, 3-pole configuration, ideal for protecting substantial branch circuits without compromising system safety.

Why choose bolt-on over other breaker styles?

Unlike plug-in options, bolt-on mounting secures the breaker directly to the panel’s bus, reducing movement and wear in busy electrical environments. This translates to fewer maintenance concerns and a more dependable protection scheme in panels that experience vibration or frequent switching.

Practical use cases

• Main protection for mid-size commercial panels and load centers requiring a 3-pole, 200 A solution.
• Replacement or upgrade in existing installations where OEM compatibility with Square D panels is essential.
• Applications where consistent thermal-magnetic protection helps prevent nuisance trips while delivering fast response to short circuits.
