QGP22225TP - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

QGP22225TP - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

The QGP22225TP delivers 225 amps of reliable overcurrent protection in 240VAC systems where fault current runs high. This 2-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker carries a 65kA interrupting rating at 240VAC, giving you the protection capacity required in many commercial and industrial installations. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic mechanism reacts instantly to short circuits. The factory-assembled, non-interchangeable trip unit locks the breaker at 225 amps, so you get consistent protection without field adjustments. Installers connect incoming power using the 1/4-20" studs on the line side and terminate outgoing conductors on the lug terminals on the load side. The QGP frame design allows direct installation into compatible equipment built for this platform. At approximately 6.5 inches tall and weighing about 3 pounds, this breaker handles demanding electrical loads without unnecessary bulk. When you need a 225 amp, 2 pole breaker with a 65kA rating for a QGP system, this model does exactly what it’s built to do: protect the circuit and keep your system operating safely.
