JDF36200 - 200Amp Circuit Breaker

JDF36200 - 200Amp Circuit Breaker

When you’re trying to match a circuit breaker to equipment already in service, the connection style can narrow things down quickly. The JDF36200 is a 200A, three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame circuit breaker with busbar connections on both the line and load sides. The JDF36200 is built to last and is well suited to form, fit, and functional replacement situations where its J-Frame design, 200A rating, busbar connections, and other specifications match the existing equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• 200A, three-pole design: A clearly defined configuration for matching the breaker to compatible distribution equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Provides both overload and short-circuit protection.
• Busbar connections on both sides: The line and load sides use busbar connections, so the connection style is an important compatibility checkpoint.
• Defined magnetic trip characteristics: Magnetic tripping current is 2000A, with a 1000A magnetic hold current.
• Integral push-to-trip button: Provides a convenient way to manually trip the breaker from its cover.
• Dual-break rotating contacts: Help reduce peak current during a short-circuit fault.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The JDF36200 carries a CE quality label. Applicable manufacturer-listed standards include UL, CSA, NEMA, NOM-003-SCFI-2000, and IEC 60947-2, while listed product certifications include UL, CSA, and NOM. The front cover is rated IP40, and the breaker has a pollution degree of 3 under IEC 60947-1.

Where It Works Best

The JDF36200 is a good fit for compatible distribution equipment that specifically calls for a 200A, three-pole J-Frame breaker with thermal-magnetic protection and busbar line and load connections. That last detail is especially worth checking. Two breakers can share the same amperage and pole count while having different mounting or connection arrangements.
