Molded Case Circuit Breakers (R Frame)
R-Frame molded case circuit breakers from Square D by Schneider Electric are part of the PowerPact product family and are designed to provide dependable electrical protection in industrial and commercial applications with high current demands. RSP Supply carries a full selection of R-Frame MCCBs built to protect power distribution systems from overloads and short-circuit conditions in demanding environments.
The R-Frame designation originates from earlier round-style breaker designs, though modern R-Frame circuit breakers now feature a compact rectangular housing. Despite the design evolution, these breakers retain the same heavy-duty performance characteristics. They are engineered using high-quality materials and internal components to ensure long service life, consistent operation, and minimal maintenance requirements.
Square D R-Frame PowerPact breakers are commonly installed in switchgear, motor control centers, and building electrical distribution systems. Their rugged construction allows them to operate reliably in harsh industrial settings where durability, safety, and uninterrupted power protection are essential.
