JGA36225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

JGA36225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

Elevate the safety and performance of your electrical distribution system with the Schneider Electric PowerPacT JGA36225 circuit breaker. Built for industrial and commercial installations, this 225 A, three-pole breaker delivers dependable protection at 600 VAC with an 18 kA interrupting rating—ensuring your setup is covered when fault currents arise. The I-Line mounting design lets you drop it straight into compatible panelboard and switchboard applications, while the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism offers accurate overload and short-circuit protection. With features like dual-break rotating contacts and a semi-transparent front cover for quick inspection, this breaker makes both installation and maintenance easier on your team.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic sensing in each pole: Provides reliable protection from both overloads and short circuits, helping safeguard connected equipment and wiring.
• I-Line mounting compatibility: Simplifies installation into panelboards and switchboards—reducing labor time and allowing a cleaner, tighter fit.
• Field-installable accessories: Let you customize the breaker with auxiliary contacts, alarm switches, shunt trips, and more—cutting spare-part inventory and increasing flexibility.
• Semi-transparent front cover: Gives you a quick visual check of the operating status without removing it.
• Dual-break rotating contacts: Reduce peak fault current during short circuits, delivering longer contact life and enhanced performance under stress.
• Continuous current rating of 80 %: For this 225 A device gives you design flexibility when you need to run at higher ambient temperatures or in harsh environments.
• Quality credentials and recycling assurances: Back your investment with environmental responsibility built in from the ground up.
