Operating as a dedicated tenant main, this three-pole 225A circuit breaker delivers consistent thermal-magnetic protection for commercial electrical systems. It is specifically configured with load side studs to mount into Square D multi-metering equipment without requiring extensive modifications. The inclusion of a Visi-Trip visual indicator allows maintenance personnel to quickly spot tripped circuits. Facilities looking to transition from this legacy model can utilize the QBM32225TN.
What type of enclosures or panels accept the Q2M3225MT breaker?
This legacy Q-frame breaker is designed specifically for Square D multi-metering equipment. It mounts directly into Meter-Pak, EZM Metering centers, and NQOD panelboards.
What is the modern replacement for the Q2M3225MT?
Because the Q2M3225MT is a legacy component, Square D officially replaces it with the QBM32225TN or an equivalent PowerPact Q-frame circuit breaker configured for metering centers.
How is the Q2M3225MT physically connected during installation?
This breaker uses a bolt-on mounting style. It is equipped with standard wire lugs on the line side and threaded studs on the load side that bolt directly to the bus of the metering center.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit function on this breaker?
The fixed thermal-magnetic mechanism provides dual protection. The thermal element responds to prolonged overloads (long-time), while the magnetic element trips immediately during severe short circuits (instantaneous).
Are the line-side lugs rated for aluminum conductors?
Yes, the factory lugs accept both aluminum and copper wire. They accommodate conductor sizes from 4 AWG up to 300 kcmil.
How can I tell if the Q2M3225MT has tripped during a fault?
This breaker features a Visi-Trip visual indicator. When an overcurrent or short circuit causes the breaker to trip, a bright red flag appears in the window to help you quickly locate the faulted circuit.
