Q2L3225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q2L3225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

Looking for a Q2L3225 circuit breaker for an existing electrical system? This 225-amp, 3-pole thermal-magnetic breaker is designed for equipment requiring the Q2L configuration. It carries a 10k AIC rating at 240VAC and uses a non-interchangeable trip unit. One detail worth checking closely is the connection setup: the Q2L3225 has lug terminals on both the line and load sides. The breaker measures 6.5 inches high, 4.5 inches wide, and 3.13 inches deep; these dimensions should be compared with those of the breaker being replaced and the equipment requirements. For electricians and maintenance teams working on older electrical distribution equipment, matching these details is important. A similar-looking breaker isn't necessarily the right breaker. Check the part number, amperage, number of poles, AIC, voltage rating, dimensions, and lug configuration before installation. When your equipment specifically requires these Q2L3225 characteristics, this breaker provides the form, fit, and function needed for the application. It's a straightforward component that's built to last when correctly installed and used within its stated ratings.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• Material compliance, certification, and agency listing information is not included in the available Q2L3225 specifications. These details should be verified on the breaker label or in the applicable product documentation when a particular certification or compliance requirement applies to the installation.

Where It Works Best

• The Q2L3225 is best suited to existing and legacy electrical distribution equipment that specifically requires a Q2L 225-amp, 3-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker with a 10k AIC rating at 240VAC.
  
  It's especially useful in maintenance and replacement situations where keeping the original form, fit, and function matters. The line- and load-side lug arrangement is another key detail, particularly when matching an existing breaker.
