FHP36025 - 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

FHP36025 - 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FHP36025 25 Amp 3‑Pole Circuit Breaker from Schneider Electric delivers dependable circuit protection for residential, commercial and light‑industrial applications. Built around proven thermal‑magnetic trip technology, this breaker safeguards against both overloads and short‑circuit faults by combining a bimetal thermal element with a magnetic instantaneous trip. With a high interrupting rating (code “H”) of up to 18 kA at 600 V AC and 25 kA at 480 V AC, it gives you confidence in thorny fault‑conditions. Compact and unit‑mounted for ease of installation, the FHP36025 also meets today’s environmental compliance standards. Whether you’re building or upgrading a distribution panel, this circuit breaker gives you the performance and confidence you need.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal‑magnetic trip mechanism: combines overload protection with fast short‑circuit interruption for reliable safety.
• High breaking capacity: rated up to 18 kA at 600 V AC and 25 kA at 480 V AC — ideal where fault‑current potential is significant.
