Q2225BHH - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

Q2225BHH - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're replacing an existing breaker or working on a panel that calls for a Q2225BHH, getting the specifications right matters. The Q2225BHH is a 225-amp, 2-pole, Type HQPP circuit breaker with a plug-in design and thermal-magnetic trip protection. It's rated 65 kA I.C. at 120/240 VAC, providing the interrupting capacity required for compatible applications with the same electrical requirements. The thermal-magnetic trip design addresses two distinct concerns: the thermal element responds to prolonged overloads, while the magnetic portion responds to short-circuit conditions. Physically, this breaker measures 4.5 inches high, 4 inches wide, and 2.56 inches deep. One detail worth checking before installation is panel space: the Q2225BHH requires at least 4 panel spaces. For electricians, maintenance departments, and facility professionals, amperage and voltage are only part of the compatibility check. Breaker type, mounting method, A.I.C. rating, dimensions, and available panel space should all match the equipment requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

• 225 amp, 2-pole configuration for applications requiring these specific circuit protection characteristics.
• 65k A.I.C. rating at 120/240VAC provides a high interrupting capacity for properly matched electrical systems.
• Thermal magnetic trip protection responds to both sustained overloads and short-circuit conditions.
• Plug-in construction is intended for compatible panel and electrical distribution equipment.
• Type HQPP design makes identification and compatibility checking more straightforward.
• Requires a minimum of four panel spaces, an important detail to confirm before installation.
