KDL32250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

KDL32250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

Meet the KDL32250 molded case circuit breaker — a dependable, heavy-duty device designed to protect your electrical distribution systems with clarity and confidence. Designed for 240 V AC environments and rated for 250 A, it’s tailored for demanding commercial or industrial installations. Built under Schneider Electric’s PowerPact lineage, the KDL32250 offers power protection that’s precise and reliable — and its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism helps prevent overloads, short circuits, and electrical faults. It’s especially suited for medium to high load panels where consistent performance and safety are nonnegotiable.

Key Features and Benefits

• High current capacity (250 A): Handles substantial electrical loads with ease, making it ideal for large systems or heavy machinery.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Delivers fast response to faults while allowing for steady load operation under normal conditions.
• Feed-through design: Offers line and load side lugs, simplifying downstream distribution and wiring flexibility.
• Compact molded case form: Saves space, eases installation, and reduces the complexity of panel layouts.
• Consistent protection: Engineered to maintain stable performance over time, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
• User-friendly servicing: Clear labeling, standard mounting, and accessible contacts make inspections and swaps faster.
