The Eaton HJD3250F is a frame only. The trip unit is sold separately.
This 3 Pole molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 250 Amps and a voltage rating of 600VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 100kA at 240VAC, 65kA at 480VAC, 25kA at 600VAC, 22kA at 250VDC. The HJD3250F features with HJD frame type and comes with 3 phase connection. Frame Only
Which trip unit do I need to complete this Eaton HJD3250F frame?
To achieve the maximum 250A rating with thermal-magnetic protection, use the Eaton JT3250T interchangeable trip unit. You can also install lower-amperage JT-class trip units, such as the JT3200T for 200A or JT3150T for 150A, depending on your branch circuit requirements.
Which wire lugs are compatible with the Eaton HJD3250F circuit breaker frame?
The standard line and load lugs for 250A Series C J-Frame breakers are catalog number TA250KB. These multi-wire lugs accept either aluminum or copper conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 350 kcmil.
What does the H in the HJD prefix indicate on this Eaton circuit breaker?
The H designates this as the High Interrupting Capacity version of the Series C J-Frame. It provides a higher fault current interrupting rating of 65 kAIC at 480VAC, compared to standard JD frames which are rated for a lower 35 kAIC at 480VAC.
Does the HJD3250F frame include the trip unit and mounting lugs out of the box?
No. The HJD3250F is strictly the bare breaker frame. You must source the required interchangeable trip unit, such as the JT series, and the terminal lugs, such as the TA250KB, separately to field-assemble a complete working breaker.
What is the advantage of using a frame-only breaker like the HJD3250F?
Installing a frame-only unit allows panel builders to stock a single base component and configure it for various amperages, from 70A to 250A. By swapping the interchangeable JT trip unit, the breaker can be easily adapted as project load requirements change.
In what types of electrical enclosures is the Eaton Series C J-Frame typically installed?
This unit-mount molded case circuit breaker frame is designed for integration within Eaton or Cutler-Hammer industrial panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, and enclosed busway applications.
Is this HJD3250F breaker frame suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes. When equipped with a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit, Eaton Series C J-Frame circuit breakers carry an HACR rating, making them safety-approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.
What is the difference between the HJD3250F frame and a complete HJD3250 breaker?
The HJD3250 is a factory-assembled complete breaker that includes a 250A fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit and standard terminal lugs. The HJD3250F is a bare frame that requires you to install a separate interchangeable trip unit and lugs in the field.

Exactly what we needed, delivered complete and on time.
SuperBreakers had exactly what we needed (Breaker, Trip Unit, lug kits) - the breaker came quickly and with trip unit installed (ordered as a separate item) making integration quick and easy.
Solid phone support and communication re: tracking - overall a very good purchasing experience.
