Functioning as a main breaker, this 225A thermal-magnetic unit provides reliable overcurrent protection for commercial applications. The Q2M2225MB features a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 240V. It installs into Square D metering centers and panelboards using a secure bolt-on mounting style. When sourcing replacements for older systems, this Q2 frame breaker is superseded by the QDL22225 model. The breaker includes a Visi-Trip indicator, is HACR rated, and comes with standard lug terminals.
What equipment is the Square D Q2M2225MB circuit breaker designed to fit?
This 2-pole breaker is designed for bolt-on installation in Square D metering centers, EZ Meter-Pak multi-metering setups, and compatible commercial panelboards.
Can I use the Q2M2225MB in a standard plug-on load center?
No. This is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed specifically for commercial panelboards and metering centers. It will not fit in standard residential QO or Homeline plug-on load centers.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the Q2M2225MB?
No. This breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions are factory set and non-interchangeable, meaning the 225A rating cannot be modified in the field.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the Q2M2225MB lugs?
The factory lugs are dual-rated for both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) conductors, accepting wire sizes from 4 AWG up to 300 kcmil. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Is the Q2M2225MB suitable for high-fault commercial applications?
This breaker is rated for 10kAIC at 240V AC. You must verify that the available fault current at your specific installation point does not exceed 10,000 amps, as higher fault environments will require a different breaker series.
Does the Q2M2225MB include a visual trip indicator?
Yes, this Q-Frame breaker features a visual trip indicator that provides clear confirmation when the breaker has tripped due to an overcurrent or short circuit, allowing for faster troubleshooting in multi-metering setups.
Is the Q2M2225MB still an active Square D product line?
The Q2M2225MB is a legacy Q-Frame molded case circuit breaker. While it is part of an older generation, it remains widely used in existing Square D metering centers. When sourcing a replacement, verify whether your specific application requires load-side lugs or tapped studs, as the terminal configuration varies by catalog number.
