The Eaton KL3125 is a 3-pole, 125A molded case circuit breaker for industrial facilities, serving as an exact match for aging K-frame infrastructure. It mounts into legacy Westinghouse Pow-R-Line panelboards and MCCs. It crosses to the modern Series C KD3125, ensuring a proper fit without retrofit adapters. Featuring fixed thermal-magnetic trip elements, it provides standard LI protection. Rated for 22kAIC at 480VAC, it reliably restores older electrical systems.
This K-frame breaker is designed for use in Westinghouse Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement for aging infrastructure.
Is there a modern equivalent to the legacy KL3125?
Yes, the modern Eaton Series C KD3125 serves as a direct cross-reference. It shares the same K-frame footprint and mounting configuration, allowing for seamless integration without retrofit kits.
Do I need to purchase separate lugs for the KL3125?
The breaker comes standard with lugs that accept wire gauges from 3 AWG to 350 kcmil. If your application requires different terminations, specialized lugs must be sourced separately.
Is the trip unit on the KL3125 adjustable?
No, the KL3125 features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection, but the trip thresholds cannot be adjusted in the field.
Can this breaker be DIN rail mounted?
No, the KL3125 requires a bolt-on connection. It must be bolted directly to the busbars of a compatible panelboard or switchboard and is not designed for DIN rail or plug-on applications.
What are the primary safety steps for installing a bolt-on K-frame breaker?
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. The main power to the panelboard or switchboard must be completely de-energized and verified with a voltage meter before bolting the breaker to the busbars.
