KCL34250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

KCL34250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

For the KCL34250, the numbers tell a fairly complete story: 250 amps, three poles, Type KCL, and interrupting ratings of 65k AIC at 480VAC and 100k AIC at 240VAC. This thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker also operates at 60Hz, carries a 40°C rating, and includes line and load lugs. That information is especially useful when you're maintaining legacy electrical equipment, because finding the right breaker isn't a matter of matching amperage and calling it done.

Key Features and Benefits

• 250-amp rating: Clearly identifies the breaker for equipment requiring a 250A configuration.
• Three-pole design: Provides the specified three-pole arrangement for compatible electrical applications.
• Type KCL breaker: The KCL designation gives you an important reference when checking an existing breaker or equipment requirements.
• Thermal-magnetic configuration: Matches applications that specifically call for this type of molded-case circuit breaker.
• Line and load lugs included: Both are supplied with the breaker, an important detail when confirming the required connection configuration.
• 60Hz, 40°C specifications: Clearly stated operating characteristics provide additional points to verify when matching the breaker to existing equipment.

Material Compliance and Certifications

Specific material-compliance information and certification listings were not included in the supplied specifications for the KCL34250. UL, CSA, RoHS, REACH, or other certifications should therefore not be assumed.

Where It Works Best

The KCL34250 250-amp circuit breaker is suited to compatible electrical equipment that requires its specific Type KCL construction, three-pole arrangement, thermal-magnetic configuration, physical footprint, and electrical ratings. It is particularly relevant for legacy-system maintenance where retaining the required form, fit, and function is the priority.

Before considering it a match, compare the complete KCL34250 part number and the Type KCL designation with those on the existing equipment. Then check the 250A rating, three-pole configuration, 60Hz frequency, 40°C rating, and the applicable interrupting capacity—65k AIC at 480VAC or 100k AIC at 240VAC.
