CAH2225W - 225Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH2225W - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CAH2225W molded case circuit breaker is a 225 amp, 2-pole breaker designed for dependable circuit protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on the CAH frame platform, this breaker provides thermal-magnetic protection with a non-interchangeable trip unit, helping safeguard conductors and equipment from overloads and short circuits. With a 22kA A.I.C. rating at 120/240VAC, it is engineered to meet the interrupting demands of commercial and industrial power systems operating in 40°C environments. Designed for proper form, fit, and function, the CAH2225W is well-suited for maintaining and servicing compatible panelboards and distribution equipment where this frame type is specified. Constructed as a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB), the CAH2225W is built to last and intended for use in applications that require consistent overcurrent protection within its listed ratings. This unit is supplied without lugs installed, allowing configuration based on the requirements of the existing installation.
