CA3225 - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

CA3225 - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

When a circuit breaker needs to be replaced, finding the right match matters. The CA3225 is a 225 Amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for applications that require a Type CA breaker with specific electrical ratings and dimensions. Often used in commercial and industrial power distribution systems, it provides the form, fit, and function needed to maintain compatibility with existing equipment.

The CA3225 is equipped with a non-interchangeable trip unit, making it suitable for installations where fixed protection settings are preferred. Rated 10kA at 240VAC, it is designed to help protect circuits and connected equipment from overloads and short-circuit conditions. Both line-side and load-side lugs are included, which can help simplify installation in compatible systems. Its compact footprint also makes it easier to work with in equipment where space is already spoken for.

Whether you're replacing a breaker during routine maintenance, restoring equipment to service, or matching an existing specification, the CA3225 offers a practical solution for three-phase electrical systems. Built for everyday use in demanding environments, it's the kind of breaker that has earned its place in electrical distribution equipment across commercial facilities, manufacturing operations, and industrial settings.
