KAL36225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

KAL36225 - 225 Amp Circuit Breaker

The KAL36225 is a high-capacity 225 A molded-case circuit breaker built to protect industrial or commercial power systems. Designed with thermal-magnetic trip technology, it reacts swiftly to overloads or short circuits. It's compact in size but built to last—offering reliable protection in challenging electrical environments.

Key Features and Benefits

• High fault-current interruption: Delivers up to 22 kA at 600 VAC, 25 kA at 480 VAC, and 42 kA at 240 VAC, ideal for demanding installations.
• Thermal-magnetic trip mechanism: Combines long-term overload sensing (thermal) with fast-acting magnetic response for precise electrical protection.
• Integrated line/load lugs: Simplifies connection and reduces installation time.
• Compact footprint: At 4.50" wide × 8.00" long × 3.69" deep, it fits into many panel layouts without excessive space.
• Durable construction: The molded-case housing resists thermal stress and delivers steady performance under varied conditions.
• Stable performance at 40 °C: Rated for regular operation in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, ensuring consistency in warmer environments.

These features help reduce downtime, protect equipment, and maintain safety in your electrical system.
