HQR23B200 - 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

HQR23B200 - 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

Meet the HQR23B200 – 200 Amp 3-Pole Molded-Case Circuit Breaker, engineered for dependability and high performance in demanding panels. This three-pole breaker delivers strong fault protection up to 65 kA at 240 VAC, all within a compact 7-inch frame that weighs just 4.5 lbs. Designed for clean integration into many panel layouts, it’s ideal for installations where space is at a premium—but reliability isn’t negotiable. With included load-side lugs, HACR rating, and a 40 °C ambient rating, it’s built to handle HVAC, refrigeration, and general electrical loads with confidence.

Key Features and Benefits

• 200 Amp capacity: Handles higher current loads without compromising safety.
• Three poles: Ensures balanced distribution across three phases.
• 65 kA interrupting rating: Copes with high fault currents at 240 VAC.
• Compact footprint: Fits standard panels easily.
• Included load-side lugs: Simplifies wiring and speeds up install.
• HACR rated: Supports heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration circuits.
• 40 °C ambient rating: Rated to perform under warmer conditions.

Each feature translates to real advantages: safer operation under heavy load, less space wasted in your panel layout, and fewer parts to worry about for installation.
