RD325T36W - 2500 Amp Circuit Breaker

RD325T36W - 2500 Amp Circuit Breaker

When your electrical distribution system calls for a 2500 amp, 3-pole R-Frame circuit breaker, the RD325T36W provides the correct form, fit, and functional replacement for compatible installations. This Type RD thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker frame is designed for demanding commercial and industrial power distribution applications where dependable overcurrent protection and adjustable trip functions are required. Built to last, the breaker frame allows qualified professionals to configure protection using the appropriate compatible rating plug, making it a practical solution for maintaining existing electrical systems. Please note that this unit is supplied as the breaker frame only and does not include a rating plug or lug terminals, allowing the necessary components to be selected for the specific application. Whether you're servicing switchgear, replacing an existing breaker frame, or maintaining legacy power distribution equipment, the RD325T36W is engineered for 50/60 Hz operation, a 40°C ambient rating, and interrupting capacities of 50kA at 600VAC, 65kA at 480VAC, and 125kA at 240VAC. Its adjustable long delay, short delay, instantaneous, and ground fault protection capabilities—when used with the proper accessories—help support reliable operation across a wide range of high-capacity electrical installations.
