HQS2225H - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

HQS2225H - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

Replacing a breaker in existing equipment? The numbers matter. The Siemens HQS2225H is a 225-amp, 2-pole Type HQSH circuit breaker with a 120/240V rating and thermal-magnetic trip. Siemens identifies it for electrical distribution and places it in the Meter Load Center Combo Mains product family. That makes the HQS2225H a practical choice when you're working with compatible equipment that specifically calls for this breaker configuration. It's built to last, but don't choose a replacement based on the 225A rating alone.

Key Features and Benefits

• 225A current rating: Gives you a clear starting point when matching the breaker to existing equipment.
• 2-pole design: The pole configuration is clearly identified, making it easier to compare with the breaker being replaced.
• 120/240V rating: Provides the voltage information needed when checking electrical compatibility.
• Type HQSH: An important identifier when you're looking for the correct form, fit, and functional replacement.
• Thermal-magnetic trip: Matches the manufacturer-specified trip range for the HQS2225H.
• Electrical distribution application: Siemens specifically lists this breaker for electrical distribution.
• Meter Load Center Combo Mains family: Useful manufacturer information when checking the breaker against existing equipment records.

Where It Works Best

The HQS2225H is a sensible match for compatible existing or legacy electrical distribution equipment that calls for a 225A, 2-pole, 120/240V, Type HQSH thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. It's particularly useful when you're trying to replace a breaker by matching the original electrical and physical configuration, rather than simply searching by amperage.
