QDA222252 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

QDA222252 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

The QDA222252 circuit breaker is a 225 amp, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems. Built on the PowerPact Q-Frame platform, this breaker features a thermal magnetic trip unit that provides both overload and short-circuit protection for 240VAC applications. With a 25kA interrupting rating at 240VAC, it is engineered for use in systems where reliable fault clearing and consistent performance are required. Designed as an I-Line, plug-on configuration, the QDA222252 allows for straightforward installation and secure connection within compatible panelboards and switchboards. Its construction reflects a design built to last, making it a practical form, fit, and functional replacement for existing Q-Frame installations.
