Eaton QBGFT1025 - 25 A, 120 V, 1-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton QBGFT1025 is a 25 Amp, 120-Volt, 1-Pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker engineered for reliable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Built to stay put in demanding electrical environments, this breaker delivers precise protection where it matters most.

Why this breaker stands out

• Secure bolt-on mounting provides a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection, helping maintain consistent electrical contact and dependable performance even in environments with equipment vibration.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection. The thermal element responds to sustained overcurrent, while the magnetic element activates quickly for high-current faults, reducing the risk of damage to wiring and connected equipment.
• OEM-compatible design is developed to work with matching Eaton load centers and panelboards, ensuring a clean fit, reliable operation, and predictable trip characteristics.
• Versatile single-pole, 25A protection is ideal for protecting individual residential circuits or light commercial/industrial branch circuits, where precise current limiting and rapid fault response are critical.

Ideal use cases

• Residential panelboards and service entrances needing dependable single-circuit protection with a firm, vibration-resistant mount.
• Small commercial installations where space is at a premium and reliable protection against overloads and short circuits is essential.
• Light industrial panels that require a rugged bolt-on breaker with consistent trip performance.

How it compares and why it matters

When you’re protecting sensitive wiring and connected devices, consistency matters. The QBGFT1025’s combination of bolt-on rigidity and a thermal-magnetic trip unit provides a more predictable reaction to fault conditions than some subcompact or non-magnetic options. Its compatibility with Eaton OEM load centers means you won’t compromise fit or electrical characteristics, reducing the need for improvisation during installation or future panel upgrades.

Practical tips for installation and maintenance

• Ensure the panelboard or load center is rated for 120V single-pole protection and accepts bolt-on molded case breakers of the QBGFT family.
• Torque the mounting screws to the manufacturer's specification to maintain a solid bus connection and stable trip performance over time.
• If replacing an older breaker, verify that the trip curve and thermal-magnetic characteristics match the replacement to preserve coordinated protection across the circuit.
• Store spares in a labeled, cool environment to prevent any corrosion or deterioration that could affect performance when installed.

Equip your panel with the Eaton QBGFT1025 for dependable, well-coordinated protection that aligns with residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical needs. Add this 25A, 120V, 1-pole bolt-on breaker to your cart and secure reliable branch-circuit protection today.
