Product FAQs

7 answers
Which load centers are compatible with the BR225?

This breaker is designed for Eaton Type BR load centers. It is also UL listed for installation in legacy Westinghouse, Challenger, and Bryant panels that specify Type BR breakers.

Can the BR225 replace older Challenger or Westinghouse breakers?

Yes, Eaton Type BR breakers are the direct, UL approved replacements for legacy Challenger Type C, Westinghouse Type BR, and Bryant Type BR circuit breakers.

Can I install this breaker in a Square D or Siemens panel?

No. The BR225 is not UL listed or classified for use in Square D Homeline, Square D QO, Siemens, or GE load centers. Using it in unapproved panels violates electrical code and creates safety hazards.

Is the BR225 HACR rated for HVAC equipment?

Yes, this breaker carries an HACR listing. It is suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 25A overcurrent protection device.

How many panel spaces does this 2-pole breaker require?

The BR series uses a standard 1-inch per pole form factor. This 2-pole breaker requires two adjacent 1-inch spaces on the panel bus.

Does this breaker feature a common trip mechanism?

Yes, it utilizes an internal common trip. If an overload or short circuit occurs on either leg, both poles will trip simultaneously to completely disconnect the 240V circuit.

How do I reset the breaker after a fault?

When tripped, the handle moves to a center position. To restore power after clearing the fault, push the handle firmly to the OFF position to reset the mechanism, then push it to the ON position.
