CA2225W - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

CA2225W - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

The CA2225W is a 225 Amp, 2-pole Type CA molded case circuit breaker rated for 120/240VAC applications. It's typically used in existing electrical distribution equipment where a breaker with matching specifications is required.

This breaker features a non-interchangeable trip unit and is supplied without lugs installed. When replacing a breaker, details like amperage, breaker type, pole configuration, and connection requirements all need to match the equipment already in service. That's often why electricians and maintenance personnel start with the original part number when searching for a replacement.

You'll commonly find the CA2225W installed in panelboards, switchboards, and other commercial or industrial electrical equipment. Rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F), the CA2225W is built to last and intended for use in compatible Type CA applications.
