Designed for exact fitment in older systems, the Eaton LA3250PR is a 250A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. Its Tri-Pac fused architecture delivers advanced current-limiting capabilities to minimize let-through energy during short circuits. The bolt-on breaker installs into Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer panelboards. It functions as a direct hardware replacement, allowing facilities to maintain their existing enclosures. Rated at 200 kAIC at 480VAC, it utilizes thermal-magnetic protection.
Is the Eaton LA3250PR the exact same breaker as the Westinghouse LA3250PR?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse electrical distribution business. Depending on the manufacturing date, this L-frame breaker may carry the Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, or Westinghouse brand name, but the physical dimensions and performance are identical.
What does the PR in the LA3250PR catalog number indicate?
The PR suffix indicates that this is a Tri-Pac integrally fused circuit breaker. This specialized design combines a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit with internal current limiters to achieve extremely high interrupting ratings.
What equipment is compatible with the LA3250PR circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed to mount in legacy Westinghouse, Cutler-Hammer, and Eaton panelboards or switchboards that are specifically configured for LA-frame or Tri-Pac molded case circuit breakers.
Can I run parallel conductors to the load lugs on the LA3250PR?
Yes. The standard terminal lugs are designed to accept either a single conductor ranging from 1 AWG to 600 kcmil or dual parallel conductors ranging from 1 AWG to 250 kcmil. Both aluminum and copper wire are supported.
How does the integrally fused design protect downstream equipment?
The internal Tri-Pac fuses act as current limiters. During a massive short circuit, they clear the fault much faster than the mechanical contacts alone, drastically reducing the let-through energy and preventing thermal or magnetic damage to downstream circuits.
