JDC3225 - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

JDC3225 - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

When you’re replacing a circuit breaker in equipment that’s already in service, you want the specifications to be easy to check—not buried in vague product language. The JDC3225 is built to last, but selecting the right replacement still comes down to the details—frame, trip type, terminals, electrical ratings, and dimensions should all match the requirements of the existing equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• 225A, three-pole breaker: Clearly defined amperage and pole count make it easier to compare against an existing breaker.
• JDC type and J frame: Important identifiers when your equipment calls for this particular Series C configuration.
• T186 trip type: Gives you another specific compatibility point to verify before installation.
• Complete breaker: The JDC3225 is classified as a complete molded-case circuit breaker, not an individual component.
• Line and load terminals included: Aluminum terminals are provided on both sides, so you know the connection arrangement you’re working with.
• 600VAC and 250VDC ratings: Supports compatibility checks for equipment requiring these specified voltage ratings.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The JDC3225 is UL Listed, according to the supplied manufacturer specifications. That gives buyers a documented certification to check alongside the breaker’s electrical and physical requirements.

Where It Works Best

The JDC3225 is a practical choice when maintaining compatible existing or legacy electrical equipment that specifically calls for a 225A, three-pole Series C JDC breaker with a J frame and T186 trip type. The aluminum line and load terminals, voltage ratings, interrupting ratings, and physical dimensions should also be part of that compatibility check.
