ZINSCO QFP QFP2200T 2 pole 200 amp 240V OFFSET LUGS Circuit Breaker

Description:

The Zinsco QFP2200T is a 200 Amp, 2-pole molded case main circuit breaker designed for use in Zinsco / GTE Sylvania / Challenger load centers. It operates on 120/240V systems and features a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that protects circuits from overloads and short circuits. It belongs to the QFP series and uses a plug-in (plug-on) mounting style with hold-down provisions for secure installation. This specific model includes offset lugs, allowing easier conductor alignment and termination in panel configurations where standard lug placement is not ideal. Typical specifications include a 200A rating, 2 poles, and an interrupt rating of approximately 10 kAIC.

Applications:

The Zinsco QFP2200T breaker is commonly used as a main disconnect in residential and light commercial electrical systems, as well as a feeder breaker for subpanels and service entrances requiring 200A protection. The offset lug design makes it particularly suitable for installations where space constraints or conductor routing require improved cable positioning. It is intended for legacy Zinsco panels and is primarily used today for maintenance or replacement of existing installations.
