Eaton Specification Sheet - EBMBG WT225JD36
Explosionproof JD frame construction enhances site safety and protects critical loads in hazardous environments. The three-pole design handles fault currents reliably while 600 Vac rating supports demanding industrial motors and control circuits. In chemical plants, refineries, and mining operations, this combination reduces the risk of unplanned outages and noncompliance. Wide amperage range from 70 to 250 A lets you consolidate breakers within a single family, improving spare-part planning and inventory control. Coupled with a 250 A frame size, the WT225JD36 fits standard motor control centers and distribution panels, simplifying installation and future expansion. Enclosure and cover design—bolted/ground joint with a gasketed seal—delivers moisture and dust resistance essential in harsh locations. Copper-free aluminum enclosure reduces weight and supports easier mounting and service in rugged environments. NEC/CEC compliance along with Class I, II, and III hazardous-location ratings and NEMA compatibility guarantee regulatory alignment across North American facilities. This certification matrix helps with audits and keeps projects on schedule, reducing engineering review cycles. Integrated manufacturing with Cutler-Hammer lineage ensures compatibility with existing Eaton accessories and third-party protective devices. The robust construction and generous weight support enable reliable operation in MCCs and switchgear, delivering lower maintenance costs and longer service life.
