RD325T35W - 2500 Amp Circuit Breaker

RD325T35W - 2500 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're replacing an existing R-Frame molded case circuit breaker, the RD325T35W provides a compatible 2500 amp, 3-pole breaker frame for a wide range of commercial and industrial power distribution systems. This model is supplied as a frame only, so it does not include a rating plug or lug terminals. That makes it a practical choice when you're rebuilding a breaker, replacing a damaged frame, or matching the requirements of an existing installation. The RD325T35W uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism and includes several adjustable protection functions once the proper rating plug is installed. Long delay pickup is adjusted through the rating plug, while short delay pickup can be configured with either I²T or flat response. Ground fault pickup and ground fault delay are also adjustable, giving technicians the flexibility to match the protection settings to the application. The breaker frame is rated for 40°C operation on 50/60Hz systems and carries interrupting ratings of 50kA at 600VAC, 65kA at 480VAC, and 125kA at 240VAC. Built to last, it's intended as a form, fit, and functional replacement for compatible R-Frame installations.

Where It Works Best

• The RD325T35W is commonly found in switchgear, switchboards, panelboards, motor control centers, and other commercial or industrial electrical distribution equipment that use compatible R-Frame breakers. Because it's supplied as a frame only, it's well suited for repairs, maintenance projects, or replacement applications where the proper rating plug and terminal hardware will be installed separately. If your goal is to maintain compatibility with existing equipment, this breaker frame provides the form, fit, and function needed without requiring changes to the surrounding electrical system.
