LCL36600 - 600 Amp Circuit Breaker

LCL36600 - 600 Amp Circuit Breaker

High-Capacity Circuit Protection Engineered for Reliability
When your facility demands a dependable, high-current solution, the LCL36600 600 A molded case circuit breaker delivers. Rated for 600 V and 600 A, it’s built to guard your electrical distribution against overloads and short circuits in industrial and commercial applications. As part of Schneider Electric’s legacy line (Square D branding), this breaker blends trusted performance with long operational life.

Key Features and Benefits

• High current/voltage handling: Designed for 600 A and 600 V environments, it supports heavy loads without compromising safety.
• Thermal-magnetic trip mechanism: Offers both long-time (overload) and instantaneous (short-circuit) protection in one unit.
• Feed-through design with line & load lugs: Simplifies wiring and installation, reducing complexity in tight panels.
• Exceptional interrupting capacity: Capable of safely interrupting fault currents up to 65 kA (at 480 V) as tested in real-world applications.
• Compact, field-proven form factor: Standard frame dimensions match many panel layouts, aiding retrofit compatibility.
• Manual trip button: Allows field testing and verification of trip mechanism on demand.
