DK2250W - 250Amp Circuit Breaker

DK2250W - 250Amp Circuit Breaker

When keeping an electrical distribution system operating safely and efficiently, using the correct replacement circuit breaker is critical. The Eaton DK2250W is a 250 Amp, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for applications that require dependable overcurrent protection and compatibility with existing equipment. Part of Eaton's well-established Series C family, this K-frame breaker is commonly found in commercial and industrial power distribution systems where matching the original specifications is essential.

Rated for 240 VAC and 250 VDC, the DK2250W helps protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits while supporting the continued operation of switchboards, panelboards, and other distribution equipment. Its T186 trip unit and 65 kAIC interrupting rating at 240 VAC make it suitable for a wide range of power distribution applications where maintaining the original system design is important. When a breaker replacement is needed, matching the amperage, voltage rating, frame size, and interrupting capacity helps keep equipment operating as intended.

You'll commonly find breakers like the DK2250W in commercial facilities, manufacturing plants, industrial buildings, and other installations where electrical distribution equipment has been in service for years. Whether you're replacing a failed breaker during maintenance, sourcing a compatible component for a repair project, or maintaining existing infrastructure, the DK2250W provides the form, fit, and function required for many installed systems.
