This breaker is designed for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line style plug-on connection for the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side.

Is the Q221225AC still manufactured, or is there a direct replacement?

The Q221225AC is a legacy Q-frame breaker. For equipment updates or new installations, it is directly replaced by the Square D PowerPact QBA222252, which shares the same 225A rating, 2-pole configuration, and A-C phase connection.

What does the AC suffix in the Q221225AC catalog number indicate?

The AC suffix indicates the breaker's phase connection. It is factory-configured to connect to the A and C phases on the I-Line bus.

The load-side lugs accept aluminum or copper wire ranging from 4 AWG to 300 kcmil. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.

What type of trip mechanism does the Q221225AC use?

It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions. This provides reliable protection against both sustained overloads and sudden short circuits.

Is the Q221225AC suitable for HVAC applications?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

Does this breaker feature a visual trip indicator?
