EQ9686 - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

EQ9686 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you’re working with an existing panel that calls for an EQ96 frame breaker, the EQ9686 is built to match what’s already in place—no guesswork, no forced modifications. This 225-amp, 2-pole main circuit breaker uses a thermal magnetic trip to respond to both overloads and short circuits, helping keep your system protected under normal operating conditions. The plug-in design makes installation straightforward for qualified professionals, and its four-space width fits correctly within panels designed for this footprint. It’s a solid, dependable choice when you need a breaker that aligns with original specifications and keeps your equipment functioning as intended.
