• Amperage: 250 A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage Rating: 600 V
• Part Number: KD2250

Why this specification matters in real-world settings

When you're performing a panel upgrade, a replacement after a fault, or a retrofit to support higher-demand equipment, the KD2250 provides the exact current-carrying capacity and protective profile your installation requires. Its two-pole design protects both hot legs in a two-phase circuit, helping to maintain balance and stability in 600V systems. Using the correct part number KD2250 is essential to ensure physical fit, mounting footprint, and electrical compatibility with your existing Westinghouse panel or enclosure.

Ideal use cases

• Maintenance projects where you replace aging or failed breakers with an exact 250A, 2-Pole unit to restore original protection levels.
• Retrofit scenarios that scale up service capacity or reconfigure circuits in commercial or light-industrial panels operating at 600V.
• Replacement needs in panels that explicitly require KD-series breakers, ensuring uninterrupted compatibility with the panel catalog.

What sets the KD2250 apart

• Exact match for KD-compatible panels: Designed to fit and function with Westinghouse panels built for KD-type breakers, reducing guesswork during replacements.
• Clear identification for cross-reference: The KD2250 part number is your fastest way to verify compatibility in catalogs, drawings, and supplier listings.
• Reliable protection for high-current circuits: With a 250A rating, this breaker helps safeguard wiring, equipment, and personnel against overcurrent incidents in demanding 600V networks.

Practical notes for a smooth purchase and installation

Before ordering, confirm the panel’s documentation supports KD2250 and that the surrounding wiring and bussing are suitable for a 250A, 2-Pole device. Use the KD2250 as a precise cross-reference when sourcing replacements to avoid mismatched trip characteristics, mounting style, or footprint. This approach minimizes downtime and preserves the safety and reliability of your electrical system.
