Built for commercial and industrial applications, the TQD32225 serves as a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker within GE's Q-Line series. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection with fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. This bolt-on MCCB installs into GE A-Series and Spectra Series panelboards. Rated for 225 amps and 240VAC, it features a 10kAIC interrupting capacity. It functions as an exact replacement for older installations, replaced by the ABB Formula A2.

Product FAQs
5 answers
How are the line and load connections configured on the TQD32225?
This unit features a bolt-on line side that mounts directly to the panelboard bus. The load side includes factory-installed lugs that accept 4 AWG to 300 kcmil copper or aluminum conductors.
How does the TQD32225 compare to the THQD32225?
Both breakers share the same physical frame and fit the same GE panelboards, but they have different short-circuit interrupting ratings. The TQD32225 is rated at 10kAIC at 240V, while the THQD32225 is rated higher at 22kAIC.
What is the continuous current rating standard for this breaker?
It is a standard 80 percent rated circuit breaker. For continuous loads lasting three hours or more, the applied current should not exceed 180 amps, which is 80 percent of its nominal 225-amp rating.
Are ABB and General Electric TQD breakers completely interchangeable?
Yes. Since ABB acquired the GE Industrial Solutions division, the TQD product line remains identical in form, fit, and function. An ABB unit will directly replace a legacy GE model in existing panels without modifications.
Is this breaker HACR rated for mechanical loads?
Yes. It carries a Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HACR) rating, meaning it has been tested and approved to handle the unique inrush currents associated with commercial HVAC compressor motors.
