Depending on the AIC rating, whether it is fully rated, or series rated, 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 NQMBHJ or similar 3 pole breaker per the * footnote on p. 9-7 of the digest 176.
