Square D BR225 2-pole 25A Plug-on Circuit Breaker 120/240V

Product Description

The SQUARE D BR225 is a 2-pole, plug-on circuit breaker rated at 25 amps and 120/240 volts AC, designed for residential and light commercial load center applications. It features common-trip operation, meaning both poles open simultaneously on an overcurrent or fault condition. With a 10 kiloamp interrupting rating, it provides reliable short-circuit protection within its rated capacity. The BR225 installs directly into BR Series load centers without tools beyond basic hand tools. Licensed electricians are the primary installers for this type of overcurrent protective device.

The BR225 is intended for use in BR Series load centers handling standard residential branch circuit loads, including lighting, receptacle, and appliance circuits. It accepts copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG, covering a broad range of branch circuit wire sizes. This makes it suitable for both new construction panel installations and service or replacement work on existing BR Series panels.

Key Features

• 25-amp current rating for standard residential branch circuit protection
• 2-pole common-trip design opens both conductors simultaneously
• Plug-on mounting for tool-free installation into BR Series load centers
• 10 kA interrupting rating for short-circuit protection
• Accepts 14 to 4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors

Compatibility

Designed for use in BR Series load centers. Consult the load center documentation to confirm slot availability and panel compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the main breaker or service entrance before working inside the load center panel. Verify conductor size and material against the breaker's listed wire range before terminating. Do not exceed the load center's total ampacity or the breaker's rated current.
