CA2225W - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

CA2225W - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CA2225W molded case circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 225 amp breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on a CA frame with a non-interchangeable trip unit, this breaker is engineered for consistent operation in applications rated up to 40°C. With a 10kA A.I.C. rating at 120/240VAC, the CA2225W provides the interrupting capacity required for many commercial and industrial panelboard and distribution setups. This unit is supplied without lugs installed, making it suitable for applications where field-installed lugs are required. Designed for proper form, fit, and function, it serves as a direct replacement in compatible legacy systems where CA frame breakers are specified.

Built to last and manufactured for dependable circuit protection, the CA2225W helps safeguard conductors and equipment from overloads and short circuits while maintaining compliance with standard electrical distribution requirements.
