JDL36250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

JDL36250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

The JDL36250 is a 250A, three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame circuit breaker with a thermal-magnetic trip unit and lugs on both the line and load sides. For replacement work, that gives you several concrete points to check against the existing installation before anything gets installed. The JDL36250 is built to last while keeping replacement selection focused on form, fit, function, and compatibility with the existing electrical system.

Key Features and Benefits

• 250A, three-pole J-Frame design: Provides the specific amperage, pole count, and frame identification needed when checking compatibility with existing distribution equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Provides both overload and short-circuit protection.
• Line and load lugs: Both sides use lug connections, making the connection arrangement easy to verify before installation.
• AL250JD terminals: Accommodate 3/0 AWG through 350 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors.
• Defined magnetic settings: Manufacturer specifications list a 2500A magnetic tripping current and 1250A magnetic hold current.
• 80% continuous current rating: Provides another important specification to compare with the requirements of the existing system.
• Integral push-to-trip button: Allows the breaker to be manually tripped via the control on the cover.
