Air Circuit Breaker · 1600A · 2500A Frame, 3-Pole, Drawout, Vertical Connection, 85kA at 480VAC · Noark Electrical A25R3DV1600
What this product is for
This air circuit breaker is used for main or feeder protection in commercial and industrial power distribution systems where a high ampacity breaker with drawout serviceability is required. It suits switchgear lineups, OEM assemblies, and large electrical rooms using a 1600A breaker within a 2500A A25 frame.
Use for
Use for low-voltage distribution equipment, main incoming sections, tie breakers, and large feeder applications where a 3-pole drawout breaker with vertical connection is specified. Drawout construction is commonly selected where maintenance access, isolation, and replacement speed matter.
Avoid for
Avoid for applications that require a complete breaker with protection functions already included in one catalogue number, because this frame requires a separate compatible trip unit. Also avoid where fixed mounting, horizontal terminals, or 4-pole switching is required.
Best for
Best for contractors, panel builders, and maintenance teams standardizing on Noark A25 series power circuit breakers in commercial buildings, industrial plants, and OEM switchgear. It is a practical choice when a 1600A rating is needed but the project specification calls for a drawout ACB platform with serviceable accessories and trip options.
Installed in
Typically installed in switchboards, switchgear, power distribution rooms, industrial facilities, institutional buildings, and large commercial service equipment. Actual fit depends on the associated cassette, trip unit, bus arrangement, and equipment design.
Why this product exists
This model provides a 1600A breaker option within Noark's A25 power circuit breaker platform, combining drawout mounting with vertical rear connection for applications that need high fault interruption and maintainable installation. A drawout breaker is commonly used where downtime reduction and safer servicing procedures are part of the equipment design.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a fixed-mounted ACB, this drawout version is better suited to equipment that benefits from easier isolation and replacement. Compared with horizontal terminal variants, this model uses vertical connection orientation. Within the A25 family, the 2500A frame supports multiple ampacity options, so this 1600A version is selected when the system load is below the larger frame maximum but the project is standardizing on the same breaker platform. Typical application sizing should always be confirmed by the engineer of record and local electrical code.
