FAQs
The CL225 is designed as a classified replacement for Type CH load centers and is listed as compatible with common panel families in field notes. It supports two-pole CH configurations, with #14-4 AWG Cu/Al wiring, enabling straightforward retrofits across residential and light commercial installations.
The CL225 provides a 25 A amperage rating and a 120/240 V voltage rating. This combination supports typical residential branch circuits and small commercial feeders, while preserving a common-trip design for coordinated protection in multi-wire branch circuits.
Yes. The product catalog notes identify CL225 as a replacement for Square D Homeline, GE THQ, and other brands, provided the installation matches CH load centers and two-space panel configurations. Always confirm the compatible enclosure type and space requirements before replacement.
Install in CH load centers using two 1-inch spaces. Supports #14-4 AWG Cu/Al conductors and requires a common trip for multi-pole protection. Confirm the panel's labeling and ensure the breaker is aligned with the bus stabs for reliable operation.
The CL225 carries UL 489 certification for safety and electrical protection conformity. As a classified replacement, it is intended for interchangeability within CH load centers, offering code-compliant performance for residential, commercial, and light-industrial applications.
