K3225 - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

K3225 - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're looking at the K3225, there are a handful of details you'll want to compare directly with the breaker already in your equipment. This model is rated at 225 amps, has three poles, and carries the Type K / K-Frame designation. The K3225 is built to last, but the replacement selection still comes down to getting the details right: amperage, pole count, frame, trip design, electrical requirements, and physical size all need to align. For compatible legacy equipment calling for this exact combination, the K3225 provides the form, fit, and function needed to keep the original configuration intact.

Key Features and Benefits

• 225A rating: Matches equipment specifically requiring a 225-amp molded case circuit breaker.
• Three-pole design: Provides the pole configuration needed for compatible three-pole installations.
• K-Frame construction: Gives you an important reference point when checking physical and equipment compatibility.
• Type K designation: Helps distinguish the K3225 when matching an existing breaker by type.
• Thermal-magnetic trip: Uses the specified thermal-magnetic trip design associated with this model.

Material Compliance and Certifications

Specific certifications and material-compliance information were not included in the supplied specifications for the K3225. UL, CSA, IEC, RoHS, REACH, or other certifications should therefore not be assumed. If your installation requires a particular approval or compliance standard, confirm that requirement using the appropriate product documentation before installation.

Where It Works Best

The K3225 225A circuit breaker is best considered for compatible existing and legacy equipment that calls for a three-pole Type K, K-Frame molded case circuit breaker with a thermal-magnetic trip design. It is particularly relevant when the goal is to maintain the form, fit, and functional characteristics of the existing breaker arrangement rather than change the equipment configuration.
