Product FAQs

7 answers
What panels and enclosures accept the JDB3250 circuit breaker?

The JDB3250 mounts in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It is also compatible with standalone NEMA enclosures designed for Series C J-Frame breakers.

Can the JDB3250 be reverse fed?

Yes. This breaker features a non-interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit and is rated for reverse feed applications, allowing power to be supplied to either the line or load side terminals.

What terminal lugs are standard for this breaker?

The factory standard terminal lugs are part number TA250KB, which accept 4 AWG to 350 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors.

Is the trip unit on the JDB3250 interchangeable?

No. The JDB3250 comes equipped with a factory-sealed, non-interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) functions. If you require field-interchangeable trip units, you must use a standard JD or HJD frame instead.

Which older Cutler-Hammer breakers does the JDB3250 directly replace?

The Series C JDB3250 is a direct dimensional and functional replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer JB3250 and JB3250S molded case circuit breakers.

Does this breaker accept field-installable accessories?

Yes. It accepts standard Eaton Series C J-Frame internal accessories such as shunt trips, auxiliary switches, and undervoltage releases, as well as external operating mechanisms like flex shafts and rotary handles.

Is this circuit breaker approved for HVAC motor loads?

Yes. The JDB3250 is HACR rated, meaning it has been tested and approved for the unique inrush currents and short-circuit demands of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
