Engineered for commercial power distribution, the Square D Q4L3250 provides reliable overcurrent protection. This 250A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed LI functions. It installs into Square D switchboards and industrial enclosures via unit mount lugs. As a legacy Q-Frame device, it replaces older units and is superseded by the PowerPacT L-Frame (LDL36250U31X). Rated for 25kAIC at 240VAC, it includes a push-to-trip mechanism.

Product FAQs
7 answers
What equipment is the Q4L3250 designed to be installed in?
This unit mount breaker is compatible with Square D switchboards, motor control centers, and industrial enclosures.
What are the wire gauge requirements for the Q4L3250 lugs?
The included lugs accept either a single 1 AWG to 600 kcmil wire or two 1 AWG to 250 kcmil wires. Both aluminum and copper conductors are supported.
What are the modern replacements for the legacy Q4L3250?
As a legacy Q-Frame device, it is commonly superseded by the PowerPacT L-Frame series, such as the LDL36250U31X, or the QDL32250 depending on the specific enclosure and mounting requirements.
How can I manually test the mechanical operation of the Q4L3250?
The breaker features a built-in push-to-trip button, allowing you to manually trip the mechanism and verify operation without exposure to live electrical parts.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit on the Q4L3250 operate?
The breaker uses a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and a fixed magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection, commonly referred to as an LI trip function.
Is the Q4L3250 an I-Line or unit mount breaker?
This is a feed-thru, unit mount circuit breaker. It requires bolted connections and is not compatible with I-Line plug-on bus systems.
What is the maximum interrupting capacity of this breaker?
The Q4L3250 provides a standard interrupting rating of 25kAIC at its maximum rated voltage of 240VAC.
