MBK225A - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

MBK225A - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a main breaker, the catalog number is a good starting point—but it isn't the only thing that matters. MBK225A is a 225 amp, 2-pole main circuit breaker rated for 120/240V. Before matching, check the MBK225A catalog number, EQ8696 designation, amperage, voltage, pole count, and interrupting rating.

Key Features and Benefits
