Product FAQs

8 answers
Can I use the QBM32225TN to replace an older Q2M3225MT breaker?

Yes, the Square D QBM32225TN is the direct modern replacement for the legacy Q2M3225MT. It provides the same 225A, 3-pole configuration and stud/tapped pad connections for seamless integration into existing equipment.

Is the QBM32225TN compatible with NQOD panelboards?

Yes, this PowerPacT Q-frame breaker is designed for unit mounting in both legacy NQOD and current NQ series panelboards, as well as compatible switchboards.

What does the TN suffix indicate on the QBM32225TN catalog number?

The TN suffix indicates that the breaker is equipped with factory-installed terminal nuts or tapped pads rather than standard mechanical lugs on both ends. This configuration is often required for specific tenant main or multi-metering equipment connections.

What are the wire gauge and torque requirements for this breaker?

The QBM32225TN accepts 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors. For a secure and compliant installation, these connections must be tightened to 248 lb-in (28 N.m).

How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit function on the QBM32225TN?

It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) functions. The thermal mechanism handles sustained overloads, while the magnetic component provides immediate tripping during short-circuit faults.

Does this breaker include a push-to-trip feature for testing?

Yes, PowerPacT Q-frame breakers like the QBM32225TN feature an integral push-to-trip button on the cover. This allows electricians to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism during routine maintenance.

Can this breaker be used on a 208Y/120V 3-phase system?

Yes, the QBM32225TN is a 3-pole breaker rated for use on 3-phase AC systems up to 240V, making it fully compatible with 208Y/120V solid-grounded wye configurations.

Is the QBM32225TN a bolt-on or plug-on breaker?

This is a unit-mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It requires physical bolting to the panelboard or switchboard bus, ensuring a secure, high-capacity connection suitable for 225A commercial applications.
