CA2225X - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

CA2225X - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CA2225X molded case circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 225-amp breaker designed for dependable circuit protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on a CA frame with a non-interchangeable trip unit, this breaker is engineered to provide consistent thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits. Rated for 10kA interrupting capacity at 120/240VAC, the CA2225X is well-suited for commercial and industrial panelboard and distribution applications requiring reliable branch or feeder protection. With included load-side lugs and a design rated for 40°C ambient conditions, this breaker offers straightforward installation and secure conductor termination. Its durable molded case construction is built to last, making it a practical solution for maintaining and servicing existing electrical systems where form, fit, and function must align precisely.
