JDL36225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

JDL36225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you’re looking for a reliable 225 amp solution to protect your electrical system, the Schneider Electric JDL36225 PowerPacT J-Frame circuit breaker delivers the performance you need—with features built for both today’s demands and tomorrow’s upgrades. Built for both thermal and magnetic trip protection, this unit excels at guarding against overloads and short-circuits, while its rated breaking capacity of 14 kA at 600 VAC ensures dependable fault clearance in high-stress environments. Its compact unit-mounted form factor with lug-on-both-sides line and load connections makes installation straightforward and space-efficient. Additionally, the design anticipates future system requirements, with compliance to modern environmental standards and upgrade-friendly capabilities that make it a smart long-term choice.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dual-Protection Trip Unit: Combines thermal and magnetic trip technologies to defend your system both from sustained overloads and sudden short-circuit events.
• High Fault Clearing Capacity: 14 kA at 600 VAC gives you confidence the breaker will effectively interrupt serious fault currents without failure.
• Compact and Installer-Friendly Design: The unit-mount layout with lug connections on line and load sides simplifies installation and fits tightly into control panels or switchgear.
• Eco-Conscious Build & Future-Ready: Designed in compliance with RoHS and REACh standards, supporting sustainable practices and system longevity.
• Scalable Upgrade Path: Allows smooth integration into evolving electrical systems without requiring a full replacement—helping you budget for growth rather than overhaul.
