CA3225Y - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

CA3225Y - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

Finding the right breaker is often about more than just matching the amperage. When you're working with existing equipment, details like the breaker type, pole count, connection style, and physical dimensions all matter. The CA3225Y is a 225 Amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker commonly used in commercial and industrial electrical systems where maintaining the original specifications is important.

This Type CA circuit breaker features a non-interchangeable trip unit and is rated 10kA at 240VAC. It comes equipped with line-side lugs, making it a suitable choice for applications that require that connection arrangement. Whether you're replacing a breaker during routine maintenance, repairing equipment after a fault, or tracking down a matching unit for an existing installation, the CA3225Y is designed to provide the form, fit, and function required for compatible systems.

You'll often find breakers like this in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office buildings, schools, and other properties that rely on three-phase power distribution. Because many of these systems remain in service for decades, having access to the correct replacement components is essential. Built to last, the CA3225Y continues to be a practical solution for maintaining established electrical infrastructure without changing the original equipment design.
