Q225 - 25Amp Circuit Breaker

Q225 - 25Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're looking for a Q225 circuit breaker, the first thing you want to know is whether the ratings match your application. This Q225 is a 25-amp, 2-pole Type QP breaker with a plug-in design for compatible electrical panels. It is rated for 120/240 VAC and has a 10 kAIC (10,000-amp interrupting capacity) at that voltage. It's a fairly compact breaker, measuring 2.88 inches high, 2 inches wide, and 2.56 inches deep, so it doesn't take up more panel space than necessary. The Q225 is also HACR rated and carries a 40°C rating, which can make it suitable for qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. Whether you're replacing an existing Q225 or tracking down a breaker with these specific electrical ratings, this is a straightforward option for applications designed around the Type QP format. As with any replacement circuit breaker, check the panel requirements and electrical ratings before installation rather than relying on appearance or physical fit alone.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• Based on the supplied specifications, the Q225 is HACR-rated and rated for 40°C. The HACR designation is relevant for qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment when the application calls for a breaker with the appropriate ratings.
• No other material-compliance certifications were included in the supplied specifications, so we don't make assumptions about certifications that haven't been documented. For projects with specific approval, code, or compliance requirements, those requirements should be confirmed before the breaker is installed.
  

Where It Works Best

• The Q225 makes the most sense when the job specifically calls for a 25-amp, 2-pole Type QP plug-in circuit breaker rated for 120/240 VAC. It may be used in compatible residential or commercial electrical applications, as well as qualifying HVAC/R equipment, provided the panel and equipment specifications match.
