Part of the classic J-Frame series, this 150A, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for commercial systems. It handles demanding loads across 240V, 480V, and 600VAC networks. As a direct replacement component, it mounts into legacy Westinghouse CDP and FDP panelboards, plus Eaton Pow-R-Line 3a and 4 enclosures. For modern upgrades, it is replaced by the JD2150. Rated at 25kAIC at 240V, it features an adjustable magnetic trip and is HACR rated.
Which panelboards are compatible with the J2150 circuit breaker?
The J2150 is designed for installation in Westinghouse CDP and FDP panelboards, Eaton Pow-R-Line 3a and 4 panelboards, and compatible motor control centers.
Are Westinghouse and Eaton J2150 breakers interchangeable?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse electrical distribution business. A J2150 breaker is the exact same Series C J-frame device whether it is branded as Westinghouse, Cutler-Hammer, or Eaton.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip function operate on this breaker?
The J2150 features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for standard overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element. The adjustable magnetic setting allows you to fine-tune the instantaneous short-circuit response to accommodate specific inrush currents or load requirements.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the J2150?
The standard lugs on this breaker accept wire gauges ranging from 4 AWG up to 350 kcmil. Always verify the conductor material and apply the manufacturer specified torque during installation.
Is the J2150 rated for use in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for direct current applications up to 250VDC, where it provides an interrupting capacity of 10kA.
What type of connection does the J2150 require?
This is a bolt-on circuit breaker. It fastens directly to the panelboard bus with bolts, ensuring a secure and reliable mechanical connection that is ideal for industrial environments.
