Issue:
Main Breaker for 225A panelboard

Product Line:
Panelboards

Resolution:
Depending on the AIC rating and Amperage required, a QBL,QDL, or QGL type breaker up to 225A max with a NQMB2Q main breaker kit or HDL, HGL, HJL or HLL up to 150A or a JDL, JGL, JJL, or JLL 150 - 225A with a NQMB2HJ. A 3 pole breaker must be used in 2 pole HD and HG main breaker applications.  The B phase lug on the breaker can be removed to avoid confusion. The bus links on the outer poles of the adapter kit and the dead front cutout only work with 3p breakers.
**** NOTE***** These kits are NOT service Entrance rated! Factory assembled or NQSE panels must be used for Service Entrance Rated applications.
