Engineered for industrial applications, the Eaton ED3225 is a 3-pole, 225A molded case circuit breaker. It delivers reliable power distribution within the Series C family. This F-frame device features a panel-mount configuration with load-side lugs. It integrates into Eaton panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. With a 65kAIC rating at 240VAC, it utilizes fixed thermal-magnetic trip elements (LI). The breaker is HACR rated and allows for reverse feed installations.
Will the ED3225 fit in legacy Westinghouse panelboards?
Yes, Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse distribution equipment lines. The Eaton Series C ED3225 is a direct, form-fit replacement for older Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer F-frame breakers with identical specifications.
Is the Eaton ED3225 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes, this standard F-frame breaker does not have line and load restrictions, making it suitable for reverse feed installations.
Can I use the ED3225 on a 480V AC system?
No, the ED series is rated for a maximum of 240V AC. If your application requires 480V AC protection, you will need to upgrade to a breaker like the FD3225, which shares the same physical Series C F-frame footprint but supports up to 600V AC.
Are the trip settings adjustable on this breaker?
No, the ED3225 features a non-interchangeable, fixed thermal and fixed magnetic (LI) trip unit. The overcurrent trip settings are preset at the factory and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Is this circuit breaker HACR rated?
Yes, Eaton Series C F-frame molded case circuit breakers, including the ED3225, are HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
What is the difference between the ED3225 and the EDH3225?
The primary difference is the interrupting capacity. The standard ED3225 has a 65kAIC rating at 240V AC, whereas the EDH3225 is the high-interrupting version with a 100kAIC rating at 240V AC. Both utilize the same physical frame dimensions.
What size wire is compatible with the lugs on the ED3225?
The included lugs are designed to securely accept wire gauges ranging from 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG, and they are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.
Can the ED3225 be used for direct current (DC) circuits?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is dual-rated for AC and DC use. It supports up to 125V DC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it versatile for specialized control systems.
