Three-pole JG frame complete breaker enables true three-phase protection for motors and power distribution. The business impact is reliable coordination in panel boards and minimized nuisance trips, especially with balanced loads in manufacturing lines. This configuration is ideal for motor control centers and distribution panels where space is at a premium and ease of installation is critical. Adjustable thermal and magnetic trip provides precise protection settings, reducing the risk of equipment damage and preventing unnecessary shutdowns; the application includes pumps, conveyors, and process lines where load characteristics vary. Line and load terminals with metric mounting simplify wiring and panel integration, accelerating commissioning and reducing field wiring errors across retrofit projects. Interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 150 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 50 kAIC at 600 Vac ensure resilience against high fault currents in harsh industrial environments. This adds value to systems requiring stringent short-circuit protection and selective coordination for improved reliability. Certifications including UL Listed, CSA Certified, and IEC Rated reinforce compliance across global markets, while CE marking supports harmonized European installations. Warranty coverage through Eaton’s policy provides peace of mind during commissioning and ongoing operation. In practice, the JGU3160AAG supports fast upgrades to safer, more reliable protection without extensive panel redesigns, delivering measurable uptime gains and reduced maintenance costs.
