Delivering reliable equipment-level safety, the Square D QO225EPD is a 25A, two-pole GFEP breaker with a 30mA ground fault trip threshold. It is engineered to protect commercial and industrial machinery from low-level leakage currents without nuisance tripping associated with 5mA personnel GFCIs. This plug-on unit mounts into QO load centers, NQ panelboards, and legacy NQOD panels. It accepts 14-8 AWG copper or 12-8 AWG aluminum conductors.
What does the EPD designation mean on the QO225EPD?
EPD stands for Equipment Protection Device. This breaker provides ground fault protection with a 30mA trip threshold, which is designed to protect equipment like heat trace cables or well pumps rather than providing Class A personnel protection.
Which panelboards and load centers are compatible with this breaker?
The QO225EPD is designed for use in Square D QO load centers, as well as NQ and NQOD panelboards. It features a plug-on mounting style and requires two standard 3/4-inch spaces. It is not compatible with Homeline panels.
How is the pigtail neutral installed on this breaker?
The attached white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the panel. This connection is required to power the internal ground fault circuitry, even if the 240V load does not require a neutral wire.
Can this breaker be used on a straight 240V circuit without a load neutral?
Yes, it can protect a 240V load that does not use a neutral wire. However, the breaker's pigtail neutral must still be connected to the panel neutral bar to operate the internal ground fault sensor.
Can I use the QO225EPD in place of a QOB225EPD?
No. The QO225EPD uses a plug-on mounting mechanism, while the QOB225EPD is a bolt-on breaker. You must verify whether your panel requires plug-on or bolt-on connections before installation.
How often should the ground fault function be tested?
Square D recommends testing the ground fault function monthly. Press the test button on the face of the breaker while it is energized. The breaker should trip immediately, indicating the equipment protection circuitry is functioning correctly.
