Built for maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects where exact specifications matter, the BKED225B is the precise match you need when upgrading or refreshing your Eaton panel lineup. Before ordering, confirm fit and ratings: the BKED225B part number is your best reference for compatibility with your equipment.

Key specifications

• Amperage: 225A
• Poles: 3-Pole (three-phase)
• Voltage: 240V
• Interrupting capacity: 65kA

Who should consider this breaker? electricians and facilities managers working with Eaton panelboards and distribution gear that require an exact 3P, 240V protective device with a high fault-current capability. It’s an ideal retrofit option when you need a drop-in replacement that aligns with existing wiring, mounting, and protective characteristics—minimizing downtime and compatibility concerns.

What problem does it solve?

It delivers reliable overcurrent protection for three-phase circuits in environments where fault currents can be substantial. By matching the 225A rating, 240V operation, and 65kA interrupting capacity, it helps ensure safe operation for motors, pumps, and other three-phase equipment while supporting electrical code compliance and system resilience.

Practical guidance and tips

• Always verify the exact part number when replacing a breaker. BKED225B is the best compatibility reference for Eaton equipment.
• Use this breaker in Eaton-compatible panels and distribution gear designed for 3-P, 240V service with high fault currents.
• If your system’s fault-current levels could exceed 65kA at the service point, assess whether a higher interrupting capacity device is needed to maintain protection margins.
