FD2225L - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

FD2225L - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

When your circuit breaker needs to be replaced, matching the original specifications is what keeps the job moving. Even breakers that look almost identical can have different interrupting ratings, trip units, or terminal configurations. The Eaton FD2225L is a 225-amp, 2-pole Series C molded case circuit breaker built on Eaton's F-frame platform for use as a form, fit, and function replacement in compatible electrical distribution equipment. Equipped with a T186 thermal magnetic trip unit, it responds to both overloads and short circuits while maintaining the protection scheme the equipment was originally designed to use.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The Eaton FD2225L is UL Listed and manufactured to published specifications for Series C molded case circuit breakers. Before replacing an existing breaker, verify the frame size, amperage, number of poles, voltage rating, interrupting capacity, trip unit, and terminal configuration to ensure compatibility with the equipment already installed. It is not uncommon for breakers with similar appearances to have different electrical ratings, so taking a few extra minutes to confirm the details can help avoid unnecessary downtime during installation.

Where It Works Best

The FD2225L is commonly found in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, healthcare campuses, schools, warehouses, and municipal infrastructure that utilize compatible Eaton Series C F-frame electrical distribution equipment. It is well suited for replacing an existing breaker during routine maintenance, restoring service after a breaker failure, or maintaining critical spare inventory to minimize downtime.
