CA2225 - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

CA2225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CA2225 molded case circuit breaker is a 225 amp, 2 pole breaker designed for use in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on a CA frame, this breaker is commonly used in commercial and industrial panelboards where dependable overcurrent protection is required. With a 10kA interrupting rating at 120/240VAC and a factory-installed, non-interchangeable trip unit, the CA2225 provides consistent protection in standard 40°C environments. Line and load-side lugs are included, making termination straightforward and helping ensure proper installation in compatible equipment. If you’re maintaining an existing system that requires a CA frame breaker, this unit is built to deliver the correct form, fit, and function.
