CA3225W - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

CA3225W - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

When a breaker needs to be replaced, matching the original specifications is often the first priority. The CA3225W is a 225 Amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for three-phase electrical systems that require a Type CA breaker.

The CA3225W features a non-interchangeable trip unit and carries a 10kA interrupting rating at 240VAC. Its purpose is straightforward—help protect circuits and connected equipment from overloads and short-circuit conditions while supporting the continued operation of the electrical system. Because this model is supplied without lugs installed, it can accommodate applications where specific connection requirements already exist within the equipment being serviced.

Whether you're replacing a breaker during scheduled maintenance, restoring equipment to service after a failure, or sourcing a matching unit for an existing installation, the CA3225W offers the form, fit, and function needed for many legacy and in-service electrical systems.
