BQL225 – EATON 2P25A 240V BOLT ON BREAKER

The BQL225 is a bolt-on breaker designed for Eaton/Cutler-Hammer panelboards that accept bolt-on style breakers. It is not compatible with plug-in CH or BR loadcentres. If you're unsure whether your panel accepts bolt-on breakers, send us your panel model number and our team will confirm fitment for you.

In many cases, yes — the BQL series is Eaton's bolt-on replacement option for compatible legacy Eaton and Cutler-Hammer bolt-on panels. However, always verify that your existing panel accepts the BQL series specifically, as bolt-on breaker lines are not universally interchangeable. Contact our counter staff with your panel's model and we can confirm the correct replacement.

The BQL225 is rated at 10 kA AIC (ampere interrupting capacity). For most residential and light commercial applications in Canada this is adequate, but you must verify that the available fault current at your panel does not exceed 10 kA. If your service or panel has a higher short-circuit rating, you may need a breaker with a higher interrupting capacity. An electrician or engineer can perform a short-circuit study to confirm.
