ED3225 **Blue Label** Cutler Hammer Circuit Breaker

ED3225 **Blue Label** Cutler Hammer Circuit Breaker

If you’re dealing with higher-load electrical systems and need something you can count on day in and day out, the ED3225 Blue Label 225A circuit breaker is a straightforward, no-nonsense solution. This is a thermal-magnetic breaker, which means it reacts the way you’d expect—quickly cutting power during short circuits while also handling longer overload conditions without nuisance tripping. It’s built on the ED frame and comes with a fixed (non-interchangeable) trip unit, so what you install is exactly what you rely on—no guesswork later. With a 65k A.I.C. rating at 240VAC, this breaker is designed to safely interrupt high fault currents, making it a solid fit for demanding commercial or light industrial setups. It’s also rated for 40°C environments, so it holds up well in warmer electrical rooms where heat can be a factor. The included load terminals are a nice touch—they save time during installation and eliminate the need to track down extra parts.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• This breaker is built to meet standard expectations for molded case circuit protection used in commercial and industrial environments. Products in this class are typically designed with UL guidelines in mind for safety and performance. As always, it’s smart to confirm specific code requirements for your project or jurisdiction.

Where It Works Best

• You’ll typically see a breaker like this used in places where reliability matters more than anything fancy: Commercial buildings and tenant spaces Industrial equipment and control panels Distribution boards with higher available fault current Facilities running steady, heavy electrical loads Electrical rooms where temperatures run a bit higher In short, this is the kind of breaker you install when you want it to do its job quietly in the background—and keep doing it.
