Westinghouse | MC2500 | Circuit Breaker | 500A | 2-Pole | 600V

Meet the Westinghouse MC2500 circuit breaker — a purpose-built, spec-perfect solution for safeguarding electrical systems that demand reliable, exact matching protection. With a 500A rating and a 2-pole design at 600V, this breaker is engineered for maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects where compatibility isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Key specifications

• Amperage: 500 A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage: 600 V
• Part number: MC2500

Why choose the Westinghouse MC2500

When your system requires a direct-spec replacement, the MC2500 delivers peace of mind through exact compatibility and predictable performance. Its 2-pole configuration ensures coordinated disconnection of both conductors, helping to safely isolate circuits during service and reduce exposure to arc hazards. The 600V rating expands its applicability across a broad range of commercial and light industrial installations, supporting reliable protection where it matters most.

Ideal use cases

• Maintenance shutdowns on panels that rely on a 500A, 2-pole, 600V protection scheme
• Retrofit projects needing a precise-spec replacement to preserve protective characteristics
• Repair or upgrade scenarios where consistent, expected protection helps maintain system reliability

Installation and compatibility tips

To ensure a perfect fit, verify the unit against your existing panel documentation and ratings before ordering. The MC2500 is best referenced by its part number when confirming compatibility, eliminating guesswork during procurement. Keeping a spare MC2500 on hand can reduce downtime during planned maintenance or unexpected faults.

What sets it apart

This isn’t a generic substitute — it’s a Westinghouse solution designed to align with the exact specs your panel requires: 500 amp capacity, two poles, and a 600V rating. By choosing the MC2500, you simplify installation, preserve protective coordination, and maintain system reliability without compromising on safety or performance.
