Eaton BQL225 Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker - 10 kAIC

Part Number: BQL225
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
BQL225

Quick Summary

The Eaton BQL225 thermal magnetic circuit breaker protects electrical panels by interrupting fault currents in industrial and commercial systems. When replacing legacy units, procurement and installation can stall projects if footprints or wire sizes don’t align with existing gear. This device is HACR-rated for safe operation around HVAC equipment and supports a 10 kA interrupt rating at 120/240 V, ensuring robust short‑circuit protection. With a compact two‑pole bolt‑on design and Cu/Al wire compatibility (#14–8 AWG), it reduces field modification costs. By matching Eaton’s spec sheet, technicians can streamline maintenance, improve reliability, and minimize downtime while preserving compliance across service panels and control cabinets.

FAQs

Yes. The BQL225 is designed as a classic replacement circuit breaker for Bolt-on BQL panels, featuring two poles, Cu/Al wire compatibility (#14–8 AWG), and a 25 A rating to match common Eaton installations. Its footprint and mounting align with standard Eaton BQL configurations to minimize retrofit complexity.
The BQL225 provides 25 A protection with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 120/240 V and is HACR-rated. This means it can safely interrupt high fault currents typical in industrial control circuits, supports HVAC/refrigeration-related loads, and protects equipment without nuisance tripping under normal operating conditions.
Ideal for industrial and commercial panels requiring reliable two-pole protection, especially where Cu/Al wiring falls within #14–8 AWG. It is well-suited for control cabinets, service panels, and equipment enclosures that rely on a bolt-on replacement with a compact footprint.
The BQL225 is HACR-rated, designed for safe operation with HVAC equipment, and rated for 120/240 V with a 25 A capacity and 10 kAIC interrupt capability, making it compliant with common electrical protection standards for panel protection.
By matching the existing BQL footprint and wiring, the BQL225 enables quick field swaps, reduces installation time, and improves reliability. Its high interrupt rating and HACR compliance support safer, longer-lasting protection with fewer unplanned outages.
