Eaton JD3250Y - 250 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton JD3250Y is a 250A, 600V, 3-pole bolt-on molded-case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch-circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection for panelboards and load centers. Built for real-world electrical environments, it pairs robust construction with precise protection to keep systems running smoothly.

• Secure, vibration-resistant mounting — bolt-on design clamps firmly to the bus connection, reducing looseness and arcing in panels that experience vibration or movement.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit — combines stable overload protection (thermal) with instantaneous short-circuit response (magnetic) for predictable, repeatable performance across varying loads and temperatures.
• Three-pole configuration — ideal for three-phase systems found in commercial and light industrial environments, providing balanced protection across all phases.
• OEM-compatible — specifically designed to be used with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring proper fit, reliable operation, and straightforward integration into existing installations.
• Versatile applications — well-suited for residential panel upgrades, commercial distribution boards, and light industrial electrical rooms where robust protection matters.
