Engineered for commercial applications, the Eaton KB3125 provides robust overcurrent protection within a compact K-Frame footprint. This 125A, three-pole device utilizes fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip units. Designed for seamless integration, it mounts into legacy Westinghouse CDP panelboards, Eaton Series C enclosures, and switchboards. Rated for 25kAIC at 240VAC, this HACR-rated component ensures dependable performance. It is commonly replaced by the newer JD3125 series.
What panelboards are compatible with the KB3125 circuit breaker?
The KB3125 is a K-Frame breaker designed to fit Eaton Series C panelboards and legacy Westinghouse CDP panelboards. It is also suitable for installation in compatible industrial switchboards and motor control centers.
Can the Eaton KB3125 replace an older Westinghouse KB3125?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment division, making the Eaton KB3125 the direct, mechanically and electrically identical replacement for the legacy Westinghouse KB3125.
What does the LI trip function indicate on the KB3125?
The LI designation means this thermal-magnetic breaker provides Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. The thermal overload (Long-Time) is fixed at 125 amps, while the magnetic short-circuit (Instantaneous) trip setting is adjustable, allowing electricians to fine-tune the response for specific inrush currents.
What are the conductor size limits for the KB3125 lugs?
The factory-installed lugs accept aluminum or copper (Al/Cu) wire ranging from 3 AWG to 350 kcmil. When terminating conductors, always apply the specific torque value printed on the breaker faceplate to ensure a secure connection and prevent thermal issues.
Is the KB3125 rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, alongside its standard AC ratings up to 600VAC, the KB3125 is certified for use in DC applications up to 250VDC, providing a 10kA interrupting capacity for those circuits.
How does the KB3125 mount into the panel?
The KB3125 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker. It secures directly to the panelboard or switchboard bus using bolted connections, which provides a highly reliable, low-resistance joint suitable for demanding 125A commercial and industrial loads.
