QGA222252 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

QGA222252 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you’re dealing with electrical distribution, you don’t want guesswork—you want a circuit breaker that fits right, installs cleanly, and does its job every time. The QGA222252 PowerPacT Q circuit breaker is built בדיוק for that purpose. Designed for 240VAC systems, this 225-amp, 2-pole breaker delivers consistent overcurrent protection using a proven thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, helping safeguard your equipment from both overloads and short circuits. What makes this unit especially practical is how easily it integrates into existing setups. The I-Line connection on the line side allows for fast, secure mounting in compatible panelboards, while the mechanical lugs on the load side give you flexibility when terminating conductors in the field. With a 65kA interrupting rating, it’s capable of handling high fault conditions with confidence. Plus, the built-in push-to-trip button makes routine testing simple—no extra tools or complicated steps required. It’s a straightforward, dependable solution for maintaining system continuity and keeping operations running smoothly.
