RD325T32W - 2500 Amp Circuit Breaker

RD325T32W - 2500 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a compatible replacement for an existing high-capacity electrical distribution system, the RD325T32W provides the form, fit, and function required to help keep your equipment operating as intended. This 3-pole, 2500-amp R-Frame thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker frame is designed for 50/60 Hz applications and calibrated for operation at 40°C, making it well-suited for demanding commercial and industrial environments where dependable circuit protection is essential. The RD325T32W offers flexible protection settings to match the needs of your system. It features adjustable long-delay pickup using a compatible rating plug, along with adjustable short-delay pickup that can be configured for either fixed short-delay time (I²T response) or adjustable short-delay time (flat response). For applications requiring faster fault response, the short-delay function can also be set to provide adjustable instantaneous pickup. Because this listing is for the frame only, it does not include a rating plug or lug terminals, allowing you to pair it with the components required for your specific installation. Built to last and designed for compatibility with existing equipment, the RD325T32W is an excellent choice when maintaining or servicing compatible power distribution systems.

Where It Works Best

• The RD325T32W is a practical solution for maintaining compatible commercial, industrial, and institutional power distribution systems that require a 2500-amp, 3-pole R-Frame molded case circuit breaker. It is commonly found in switchgear, switchboards, motor control centers, manufacturing facilities, processing plants, utilities, and other high-capacity electrical systems where dependable overcurrent protection is required. Since this unit is supplied as a frame only, it is best suited for applications where the appropriate rating plug and lug terminals will be selected separately to meet the electrical requirements of the installation.
