KAL36250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

KAL36250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a breaker in existing equipment, the small details can be just as important as the amp rating. The KAL36250 is a 250-amp, 3-pole thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker intended for compatible electrical systems that require the physical and electrical characteristics of a Type KAL breaker. For legacy electrical systems where keeping the correct form, fit, amperage, pole count, and interrupting ratings matters, this breaker offers a practical functional replacement option when all required specifications match.

Key Features and Benefits

• 250-amp rating – Intended for applications specifically calling for a 250A molded case circuit breaker.
• 3-pole configuration – Matches compatible electrical equipment requiring a three-pole breaker arrangement.
• Thermal-magnetic operation – Uses the specified thermal-magnetic trip configuration.
• Type KAL configuration – Suitable for consideration where existing equipment requires the corresponding KAL form, dimensions, and electrical characteristics.
• Line and load lugs included – Provides the specified lug arrangement for electrical connections.
• 60 Hz and 40°C ratings – Clearly stated specifications give technicians additional points to verify when determining application suitability.

Material Compliance and Certifications

Specific certification listings and material-compliance information were not included in the available specifications for the KAL36250. For that reason, no UL, CSA, RoHS, REACH, or other certification or compliance status should be assumed.

Where It Works Best

The KAL36250 250A circuit breaker makes the most sense for compatible legacy electrical equipment where the application calls for a Type KAL, 3-pole thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker with matching electrical and physical characteristics. This is particularly important in maintenance and replacement work, where the objective is to preserve the required form, fit, and function rather than change the original equipment configuration.

Don't rely on the 250-amp rating alone when evaluating this breaker. Before installation, compare the complete KAL36250 part number, three-pole configuration, voltage and AIC ratings, physical dimensions, 60 Hz frequency, 40°C rating, and line/load lug arrangement with the existing breaker and the requirements of the electrical equipment.
