Product FAQs
7 answers
What does the AB suffix mean in the KH26225AB catalog number?
The AB suffix indicates the breaker is configured to connect to the A and B phases of a Square D I-Line panelboard or switchboard bus.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy Square D KH26225AB circuit breaker?
The KH26225AB is a legacy K-Frame breaker. For modern panel upgrades or replacements, it is typically superseded by the Square D PowerPact J-Frame series, specifically the JJA26225 model.
How does the KH26225AB install into a panelboard?
This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection. It uses plug-on jaws to attach directly to the busbar of compatible Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, allowing for rapid installation without separate mounting hardware.
Can the KH26225AB be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is rated for use in DC applications up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC at that voltage.
What wire sizes are compatible with the load-side lugs on the KH26225AB?
The standard lugs on this breaker accept aluminum or copper wire ranging from 4 AWG to 350 kcmil.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the KH26225AB?
The thermal (long-time) trip function is fixed at 225 amps, but the magnetic (instantaneous) trip function is adjustable to allow for coordination with other overcurrent devices in your system.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The LI designation means the breaker provides Long-Time (thermal) protection against sustained overloads and Instantaneous (magnetic) protection against short circuits.
