Square D JDP34250WU31X - 250 A, 480 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Square D JDP34250WU31X — a rugged 250A, 480V, 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to shield critical electrical circuits in panelboards and load centers. Built for demanding environments, it delivers dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short‑circuit protection with a secure, vibration‑resistant connection.

• Secure bolt-on mounting — a rigid bus connection minimizes looseness from vibration or impact, helping maintain consistent protection in busy electrical rooms or equipment spaces.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit — combines overload and short-circuit protection with stable, repeatable trip characteristics across varying temperatures and loads, reducing nuisance trips and improving coordination with other protective devices in the panel.
• 3-pole design for 480V systems — ensures simultaneous disconnection of all three phases, enhancing safety and compliance for three‑phase distribution.
• 250A continuous rating — suited for large branch circuits and feeders in commercial and light industrial panels, providing strong protection without sacrificing performance.
• OEM-compatible — engineered to work with matching Square D OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring a reliable fit and straightforward replacement or upgrade path.

This breaker is ideal for environments where 480V three‑phase service powers motors, pumps, HVAC equipment, and other heavy loads in commercial and light industrial facilities. It also serves as a robust protection solution in residential-adjacent settings that utilize larger panelboards for high‑demand circuits.

Key benefits in real-world use

• Consistent protection performance under vibration and load swings thanks to secure bolt-on mounting and a dependable thermal-magnetic trip.
• Simple integration with existing Square D panels and other OEM panelboards, reducing installation complexity and long‑term maintenance concerns.
• Clear, decisive fault interruption for enhanced safety and system reliability in 480V applications.
