Product FAQs
5 answersWhich Eaton equipment is compatible with the JGX3250FAG circuit breaker?
This JG-Frame breaker is designed for installation in Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers (MCCs), and Series G enclosures.
What conductor sizes and materials are supported by the standard lugs?
The included feed-thru lugs accept wire sizes ranging from 8 AWG to 350 kcmil and are rated for use with both aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) wire.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip function work on this breaker?
The thermal-magnetic trip unit features a fixed thermal element for standard overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element. This allows electricians to tune the instantaneous short-circuit trip point to accommodate specific inrush currents without nuisance tripping.
What do the letters "FAG" mean in the JGX3250FAG catalog number?
In the Eaton Series G nomenclature, "F" stands for a fixed thermal trip, "A" indicates an adjustable magnetic trip, and "G" means the breaker includes standard line and load terminals.
Does this Series G breaker provide current-limiting performance?
Yes, Eaton Series G breakers feature a patented reverse loop contact design with high-speed blow-open action. This provides current-limiting performance to quickly clear faults and protect downstream equipment.
