Westinghouse | K3200 | Circuit Breaker | 200A | 3-Pole | 600V | 22kA

The Westinghouse K3200 circuit breaker is a purpose-built solution for users who need reliable, high‑current protection in three‑phase installations. Engineered for maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects, this 200A, 3‑pole unit delivers solid performance in demanding electrical environments while preserving compatibility with existing Westinghouse systems.

Key specifications

• Amperage: 200A
• Poles: 3‑pole
• Voltage rating: 600V
• Short‑circuit interrupting capacity: 22kA

Why this model stands out

Designed as a genuine Westinghouse component, the K3200 aligns with legacy panels and distribution setups that require a precise 3‑pole, 600V protection device. The 22kA interrupting capacity provides robust fault protection for medium to large three‑phase systems, helping minimize damage during high‑fault events. Because the part number is the primary reference for compatibility, the K3200 is a dependable choice when exact spec matching matters for panel safety and continuity.

Ideal use cases

• Retrofits and panel replacements in industrial facilities with three‑phase power and 600V systems.
• Maintenance intervals where exact 200A, 3‑pole protection is required to sustain system reliability.
• New installations that match existing Westinghouse configurations to simplify servicing and future upgrades.

Installation and compatibility considerations

• Before ordering, verify that the K3200’s specs (200A, 3‑pole, 600V, 22kA) match your panel’s requirements and bus configuration.
• Use the exact part number as the primary reference to ensure proper fit and electrical characteristics.
• Plan for replacement in environments where high fault currents are possible to maximize protective performance and minimize downtime.

Practical guidance for best results

Keep a spare K3200 on hand for planned maintenance and unexpected outages. When installing, ensure quiet, clean connections to avoid resistance losses, and confirm that downstream devices and conductors are rated for 600V and the anticipated fault levels. This approach helps maintain system integrity and quick restoration of service after a protection event.
