RD63B160 - 1600Amp Circuit Breaker Description
RD63B160 - 1600Amp Circuit Breaker
When keeping an existing electrical distribution system operating safely and efficiently, choosing the correct replacement breaker matters. The RD63B160 is a 3-pole, 1600 amp molded case circuit breaker built on the RD2000A frame and equipped with an interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit. Designed for applications that demand dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection, this breaker provides the proper form, fit, and function for compatible electrical equipment without requiring unnecessary modifications. With interrupting ratings of 50kA at 600VAC, 65kA at 480VAC, and 125kA at 240VAC, the RD63B160 is well-suited for a wide range of commercial and industrial power distribution systems. Its molded case construction is built to last, while the interchangeable trip unit can simplify maintenance when servicing compatible installations. Please note that lug terminals are not included, allowing installers to use the terminal configuration that best matches their application. Whether you're replacing a failed breaker during scheduled maintenance or sourcing a compatible unit for an existing system, the RD63B160 offers the electrical ratings and physical compatibility needed to help keep your equipment operating as intended.
