The CE3225E – Federal Pioneer 3P225A 600V 18kA breaker is a reliable solution for your electrical needs. Designed for three-phase applications, this circuit breaker offers a current rating of 225 amps and a short-circuit capacity of 18kA. Ensure optimal protection and performance in your system with this robust and durable unit.
The Federal Pioneer CE frame series is considered obsolete and is no longer in regular production. However, Northern Breaker Group specializes in hard-to-find and obsolete breakers — we maintain stock of legacy Federal Pioneer units including the CE3225E. Contact us or visit one of our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters for current availability.
Yes, a 225A 3-pole CE-frame bolt-on breaker is a common choice for main breaker or feeder protection in compatible Federal Pioneer commercial panelboards, provided the panelboard's bus and enclosure are rated to accept a CE-frame unit at 225A/600V. Always verify the panelboard's specifications and consult a licensed electrician before installation.
The CE3225E carries an interrupting (short-circuit) rating of 18kA at 600V. Whether this is sufficient depends on the available fault current at your installation point — a value your electrical engineer or utility can confirm. If your system's available fault current exceeds 18kA, a higher-interrupting-rated breaker will be required to meet CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) requirements.
