Product FAQs

4 answers
Which load centers accept the Zinsco QCAL125 circuit breaker?

The QCAL125 is an exact OEM-style fit designed specifically for legacy Zinsco load centers that accept QC-type breakers. It features a 1.5-inch thick profile and installs directly onto the busbar without requiring any aftermarket adapters.

What is the modern aftermarket replacement for the QCAL125?

Because original Zinsco breakers are obsolete, Connecticut Electric manufactures a modern equivalent. The direct replacement catalog number is UBIZ2125 (or UBIZ2125-1), which is designed to fit the exact same legacy Zinsco panels.

Are there known safety issues with legacy Zinsco electrical panels?

Yes. Legacy Zinsco panels have well-documented reliability concerns, including breakers failing to trip during overcurrent events and arcing issues at the aluminum busbar connections. While replacement breakers can be used for temporary repairs or maintenance, most licensed electricians strongly recommend a complete panel upgrade when feasible.

Can the QCAL125 be used to supply power to HVAC equipment?

Yes. The QCAL125 is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment that requires a breaker with this specific designation.

    Great turn around!

    My experience was great. I had the item quickly; and it was more reasonably priced than other places I checked. Not having to pay freight was an absolute bonus.
