MA3500 - 500 Amp Circuit Breaker

MA3500 - 500 Amp Circuit Breaker

The MA3500 is a 500 amp, 3-pole MA thermal magnetic circuit breaker intended for your compatible electrical equipment where its ratings, configuration, and physical size match the existing application. When the 500A rating, three-pole configuration, MA type, interrupting ratings, trip-unit style, and dimensions match the application requirements, the MA3500 can be considered a form-, fit-, and functional replacement candidate for your existing or legacy electrical equipment. Its solid construction is built to last and suited to its intended electrical application when selected, installed, and maintained correctly.

Key Features and Benefits

• 500 Amp Rating: Rated at 500A for electrical applications requiring this specific current rating.
• 3-Pole Configuration: Provides the specified three-pole arrangement for matching compatible equipment.
• MA Type: Identified as an MA circuit breaker, an important detail when evaluating a replacement for an existing installation.
• Thermal-Magnetic Operation: Uses the specified thermal-magnetic circuit breaker configuration.
• Interchangeable Trip Unit: The interchangeable trip unit is a key functional characteristic to confirm when matching an existing MA breaker.
• 40°C Rated: Carries the specified 40°C temperature rating.
• Load-Side Terminals Included: Includes load-side terminals.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The available specifications for the MA3500 do not include specific material compliance information, agency certifications, or electrical listings. Do not assume certifications such as UL or IEC or material declarations such as RoHS or REACH without supporting documentation.

If a particular listing or material-compliance requirement matters to the installation, confirm it using the product markings and applicable technical documentation.

Where It Works Best

The MA3500 500A 3-pole circuit breaker is best considered for compatible existing and legacy electrical equipment that requires an MA-type, 40°C-rated thermal magnetic circuit breaker with an interchangeable trip unit. It is especially relevant for replacement situations where matching the original breaker's electrical ratings, pole configuration, physical dimensions, and trip-unit configuration is important.
