FAQs
The JGEDC3225FAW is designed for copper (Cu) conductors and field wiring within standard MCCB enclosures. It supports a 3-pole JG frame with 225 A rating and 600 Vac/250 Vdc voltages, enabling straightforward integration into PV disconnects and distribution panels. Always follow manufacturer terminal kits and panel specs to ensure secure, code-compliant terminations and proper torque settings.
This breaker uses fixed thermal with adjustable magnetic trip (Trip Type T185), delivering fast fault interruption. With a 35 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac, it provides strong short-circuit protection for PV feeders and inverters, helping to coordinate to prevent cascading trips and ensuring selective protection within solar MCA panels and combiner boxes.
Yes. The unit is rated for 600 Vac and 250 Vdc, featuring a 225 A amperage rating and three poles. This makes it suitable for PV system protection, utility-interactive inverter circuits, and DC control circuits in solar installations, while meeting UL safety standards for industrial MCCBs.
It carries UL 489 certification, indicating compliance with recognized safety standards for molded case circuit breakers. This matters for electrical codes, utility interconnection requirements, and project approvals, especially in commercial and industrial PV deployments where reliability and safety certifications drive acceptance and insurance considerations.
Eaton provides a policy of one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This warranty supports preventative maintenance planning and spare-part budgeting. For maintenance, rely on Eaton’s specification sheets and product aids to ensure correct replacement parts, torque values, and compatible accessories are used during service life.
