Information About LA36225

The LA36225 is a molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver reliable overcurrent protection in industrial and commercial electrical systems. Operating at a voltage rating of 600 V and a current rating of 225 A, this circuit breaker offers efficient and dependable performance in a range of demanding applications. Its design prioritizes safety and operational integrity, ensuring effective protection for electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit conditions.

Built within the Circuit Breaker category and classified as a molded case circuit breaker, the LA36225 is optimized for durability and resilience in harsh environments. Molded case circuit breakers are engineered to encase their operational mechanisms within a molded, insulating material, which protects the internal components from dust, moisture, and contaminants that could compromise functionality. This sealed construction contributes to the breaker’s extended lifecycle and reliable operation, even under high-load conditions or in areas prone to environmental stresses.

One of the primary functions of the LA36225 is to provide automated protection by interrupting the circuit in response to abnormal current levels. It employs a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism to achieve this. The thermal component offers gradual response to overloads, allowing for minor fluctuations without unnecessary tripping, while still disconnecting circuits under sustained overload conditions. The magnetic trip, in contrast, provides immediate disconnection when a significant overcurrent surge, such as a short circuit, is detected. This combination ensures that the LA36225 responds accurately to varied electrical fault conditions, balancing sensitivity with robustness.

Designed for adaptability, the LA36225 is suitable for integration in multiple applications across industrial and commercial sectors. Its 600 V rating makes it compatible with systems requiring higher voltage handling capabilities, while the 225 A current rating provides adequate coverage for medium to high-power circuits. This model’s flexibility allows it to serve in applications such as motor control centers, industrial machinery, distribution panels, and other high-demand power systems.
