Part of the QO family, the Square D QOB225 is a 2-pole, 25-amp miniature circuit breaker built for commercial and industrial applications. It utilizes proven thermal-magnetic technology to deliver consistent Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection. This unit features a secure bolt-on mounting style, designed to mount into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, it includes Square D's signature Visi-Trip indicator for rapid fault identification and is HACR rated.
Which panelboards are compatible with the QOB225 breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. It cannot be installed in standard QO residential load centers, which require plug-on breakers.
Is the QOB225 circuit breaker HACR rated?
Yes, this 25 amp breaker is HACR rated. This means it is certified for safely supplying power to heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Is there a 22kAIC equivalent for the standard 10kAIC QOB225?
Yes. If your system requires a higher interrupting capacity, you can specify the QOB225VH. It provides a 22kAIC rating while maintaining the same physical dimensions and panel compatibility as the standard model.
How does the Visi-Trip indicator work on this breaker?
When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, the handle drops to a middle position and a highly visible red flag appears in a window on the breaker face. This allows personnel to rapidly identify the faulted circuit inside a crowded panelboard.
Can the QOB225 be used in direct current systems?
Yes, this thermal magnetic breaker is suitable for specific DC applications. It carries a DC interrupting rating of 5kA at 48VDC in addition to its standard alternating current ratings.
What is the advantage of the bolt-on connection?
Bolt-on breakers mechanically fasten directly to the panelboard busbar rather than clipping on. This provides a highly secure, vibration-resistant electrical connection that is typically required in commercial and industrial environments.
What type of trip protection does the QOB225 provide?
This breaker utilizes a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit to deliver LI protection. The long-time function guards against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function trips the breaker immediately during severe short circuits.

Customers say these electrical breakers arrive exactly as ordered and work perfectly for their intended applications. They consistently praise the competitive pricing, which many report is significantly lower than local suppliers. Fast shipping and prompt delivery are frequently highlighted, with many receiving orders within days or even next-day delivery for urgent needs. The breakers arrive well-packaged and in excellent condition. Many reviews emphasize the company's extensive inventory availability, particularly for hard-to-find breakers. One customer experienced difficulty with order cancellation and was charged a restocking fee, which caused dissatisfaction.
