KHL36250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

KHL36250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

The KHL36250 is a 250-amp, 3-pole Type KHL molded-case circuit breaker with a thermal-magnetic design and line and load lugs. It operates at 60Hz and 40°C. When replacing a breaker, don't just focus on the 250A rating; check the part number, breaker type, pole count, dimensions, lugs, and electrical ratings. If these details match your existing breaker and equipment needs, the KHL36250 should fit well in terms of form, fit, and function.

Key Features and Benefits

• 250A, 3-pole configuration for applications requiring these specific electrical characteristics.
• Type KHL molded case construction with a thermal magnetic configuration.
• Line and load lugs are included, an important detail when checking the connection requirements of an existing installation.
• Rated for 60Hz operation at 40°C.
• Well suited to legacy and existing equipment when the required ratings, dimensions, and connections match.

Where It Works Best

The KHL36250 makes the most sense in existing or legacy electrical equipment that calls for this particular 250A, 3-pole Type KHL configuration. For replacement work, there's more to check than the amp rating.

Start with the part number and three-pole arrangement, then look at the physical footprint, line and load lug requirements, 60Hz frequency, and 40°C specification. The interrupting rating also needs to correspond with the system voltage. For this breaker, that means 25 kAIC at 600 VAC, 35 kAIC at 480 VAC, or 65 kAIC at 240 VAC.
