LHL36225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

LHL36225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

Upgrade your electrical protection with the LHL36225, a 225 A, 3-pole molded case breaker from the LH family. Tailored for industrial and commercial systems, this unit offers dependable defense against overloads and short circuits. Built to run at 600 VAC (and up to 250 VDC), it blends safety, efficiency, and flexibility into one essential component for power distribution networks.

Key Features & Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic trip technology: Combines thermal sensing for overload protection with instantaneous magnetic response to short circuits, helping protect your equipment from damage under fault conditions.
• High interrupting capacity: Rated at 25 kA at 600 VAC and 50 kA at 250 VDC, it can handle substantial fault currents with a margin of safety.
• Push-to-Trip manual testing: Allows safe manual tripping without exposing live parts during maintenance or testing cycles.
• Mounting flexibility: Accepts both unit-mount and I-Line construction styles, giving you more options when wiring or retrofitting control panels.
• Line and load lugs: Clear terminal designation (AL400LA) for both line and load sides ensures clean, organized wiring.
