Product FAQs
5 answers
Which Siemens and ITE panelboards are compatible with the JKL3B125 breaker?
This bolt-on circuit breaker is designed for use in Siemens and legacy ITE P4, P5, S5, and CDP-6 panelboards.
What type of conductors can be terminated on the JKL3B125?
The factory-installed lugs accept both copper and aluminum conductors, accommodating wire sizes from 4 AWG to 300 kcmil. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
How does the trip unit operate on the JKL3B125?
It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection. This allows electricians to coordinate the instantaneous trip point with downstream devices.
How is the JKL3B125 secured inside the panelboard?
It is a bolt-on breaker that mounts directly to the busbars of compatible Siemens and ITE panelboards. Depending on the specific panelboard model, such as a CDP-6 or P4, a dedicated mounting strap kit or connecting hardware is required for installation.
Can this breaker replace older ITE JKL models?
Yes, this unit is part of the legacy J-Frame group and will physically fit and function as a direct replacement for older ITE or Siemens JKL frame breakers with identical pole and amperage configurations.
