Built for commercial and industrial power distribution, the Siemens QJ22B225 is a 2-pole, 225A molded case circuit breaker. It operates at 240VAC and utilizes thermal-magnetic trip technology. This QJ-frame breaker installs into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible meter centers. For newer installations, this unit is replaced by the QR22B225. Rated for 10kAIC at 240V, the breaker is HACR rated and designed for reverse feed applications.
Which panelboards are compatible with the QJ22B225?
This breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It is also compatible with select Siemens meter centers and enclosures.
Can the Siemens QJ22B225 replace legacy ITE breakers?
Yes, Siemens acquired ITE, and the QJ22B225 serves as a direct replacement for older ITE QJ22B225 breakers used in legacy panelboards and switchboards.
What is the modern replacement for the QJ22B225?
For newer installations or panel upgrades, the QJ frame has largely been superseded by the QR frame. The direct modern equivalent is the QR22B225, though a mounting kit may be required depending on the panelboard.
What wire sizes and materials do the lugs accept?
The load side lugs on this breaker accept 6 AWG to 300 kcmil copper (Cu) wire, or 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum (Al) wire.
What type of trip unit is installed in the QJ22B225?
It features a non-interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit. It provides fixed long-time (L) protection for overloads and fixed instantaneous (I) protection for short circuits.
How does this breaker connect to the panelboard bus?
The QJ22B225 utilizes a bolt-on connection, meaning it must be mechanically bolted directly to the panelboard busbars for a secure, vibration-resistant electrical connection.
