CA2225Y - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

CA2225Y - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CA2225Y is a 2-pole, 225 amp molded case circuit breaker designed for use in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on a CA frame, this breaker provides dependable overcurrent protection for feeders and larger branch circuits where a 225A rating is required. With a 10kA interrupting capacity, it is rated to safely clear fault conditions within its specified limits, helping protect both wiring and connected equipment. This unit features a non-interchangeable trip unit, meaning the trip settings are factory-set and not designed to be adjusted or swapped in the field. That makes it a practical choice for applications where a fixed 225A protection level is needed. The breaker is rated for use in environments up to 40°C and includes line-side lugs, helping streamline installation in compatible equipment. Its molded case design is built to last and commonly used in commercial and light industrial electrical systems. If you're maintaining existing equipment that requires a CA frame 225A, 2-pole breaker with a 10kA rating, the CA2225Y is designed to provide the proper form, fit, and function for those systems.
