JDF36225 - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

JDF36225 - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

The JDF36225 has a specific setup that is useful when you're trying to match a breaker already installed in a distribution system. It's a 225A, three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame circuit breaker with a thermal-magnetic trip unit and busbar connections on both the line and load sides. The JDF36225 is built to last and is best selected by matching its complete electrical, mounting, and connection specifications to the equipment already in service.

Key Features and Benefits

• 225A, three-pole J-Frame design: A clearly defined configuration for matching compatible distribution equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Provides both overload and short-circuit protection.
• Busbar connections on both sides: The line and load connections use a busbar arrangement, an important detail when checking physical and electrical compatibility.
• Defined magnetic settings: Magnetic tripping current is 2250A, with a magnetic hold current of 1125A.
• 80% continuous current rating: Gives you another concrete specification to check against the installation requirements.
• Push-to-trip button: An integral button on the cover provides a simple way to manually trip the breaker.
