Eaton QCGFEP1025 - 25 A, 120 V, 1-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton QCGFEP1025 is a 25-amp, 120-volt, 1-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to safeguard branch circuits in panelboards and load centers. Built for dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection, it stands out as a reliable, compact solution for modern electrical installations in homes and light commercial settings.

Key features that matter in real-world use:

• Compact molded case design maximizes panel space, making it easier to fit additional circuits without sacrificing safety.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection across a range of temperatures and load conditions, reducing nuisance trips and ensuring consistent performance.
• OEM-compatible performance is engineered to work seamlessly with matching Eaton OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring reliable operation and straightforward replacement in existing systems.
• Versatile applications suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial circuits that require dependable single-pole protection.
