JGL36225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

JGL36225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

The JGL36225 gives you several concrete details to work from when matching a 225A breaker to equipment already in service. This three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame model uses thermal-magnetic protection and has lugs on both the line and load sides. The JGL36225 is built to last and is a practical choice for form, fit, and function as a replacement when the electrical ratings, lug setup, conductor range, and physical dimensions match what your equipment requires.

Key Features and Benefits

• 225A, 3-pole design: A clearly defined configuration for matching compatible distribution equipment.
• Lugs at both ends: The JGL36225 uses lug connections on both the line and load sides.
• Thermal-magnetic trip: Provides overload and short-circuit protection without adding unnecessary complexity to the replacement specification.
• AL250JD terminals: Accept 3/0 AWG through 350 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors.
• 80% continuous-current rating: Another important detail to confirm against the requirements of the existing system.
• Push-to-trip button: An integral button on the cover allows the breaker to be tripped manually.
• HACR rated: HACR classification is included in the product specifications.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The JGL36225 carries UL, CSA, and NOM product certifications and is CE marked. Listed standards include UL, CSA, NEMA, NOM-003-SCFI-2000, and IEC 60947-2. The front cover has an IP40 rating, and the manufacturer specifies a pollution degree of 3 under IEC 60947-1.

Where It Works Best

The JGL36225 is best considered when the equipment already in place calls for a 225A, three-pole J-Frame breaker with line- and load-side lug connections. The AL250JD terminal setup and 3/0 AWG–350 kcmil aluminum/copper conductor range are particularly useful details when checking an existing installation.
