Part of the legacy L-Frame family, this 125-amp molded case circuit breaker provides essential overcurrent protection for commercial facilities. It features an interchangeable trip unit with fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic functions. Engineered for seamless integration, the breaker installs into older Westinghouse switchboards and motor control centers. Choosing this exact match avoids the hassle of sourcing and installing the FD3125 adapter plate.
It is a legacy L-Frame breaker designed to bolt into older Westinghouse, Eaton, and Cutler-Hammer panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip function work on the LB3125?
While the thermal overload protection is fixed at 125 amps, the instantaneous magnetic trip can be adjusted. This allows panel builders to tune the short-circuit response to prevent nuisance tripping, which is especially useful in motor control applications.
Can the LB3125 be used in industrial DC control panels?
Yes. While commonly used in AC applications, this thermal-magnetic breaker is also rated for direct current systems up to 250VDC, making it suitable for battery backups and DC motor control circuits.
Is there a difference between the Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and Westinghouse versions of the LB3125?
No. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse electrical distribution division in the 1990s. Breakers labeled under the Westinghouse, Cutler-Hammer, or Eaton brands with the LB3125 catalog number share the exact same L-Frame footprint and electrical characteristics.
What does the LB3125 catalog number indicate?
The LB prefix designates the legacy Westinghouse L-Frame family of molded case circuit breakers. The 3 indicates it is a 3-pole device, and 125 denotes the 125-amp continuous current rating.
Does the LB3125 come with lugs for wire termination?
Yes, this breaker includes standard mechanical lugs for terminating conductors. When installing, ensure the wire is within the accepted #6 AWG to 350 kcmil range and properly torqued to manufacturer specifications.
What are the safety requirements for installing a bolt-on L-Frame breaker?
Because the LB3125 bolts directly to the busbars, the entire panelboard or switchboard must be completely de-energized and properly locked out (LOTO) before installation. Only qualified electrical personnel should perform the installation or maintenance.
