MAL36500 - 500 Amp Circuit Breaker

MAL36500 - 500 Amp Circuit Breaker

For a replacement breaker, getting the amperage right is only one part of the match. The MAL36500 is a 500 amp, 3-pole MAL thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker with clearly defined electrical and physical specifications for comparison with your existing or legacy equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• 500 Amp Rating: Provides the specified 500A rating for compatible electrical equipment requiring this breaker capacity.
• 3-Pole Configuration: A clearly identified three-pole design makes it easier to compare against the breaker being replaced.
• MAL Type: The MAL designation is an important compatibility detail when matching a breaker to existing equipment.
• Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker: The supplied specifications identify the MAL36500 as a thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker.
• 60Hz Operation: Rated for applications requiring a 60Hz breaker.
• 40°C Rated: The stated 40°C rating gives you another specification to verify against the existing installation requirements.
• Line and Load Lugs Included: Both line-side and load-side lugs are included, so the supplied lug configuration is clearly defined.
• Built to Last: Solid molded-case construction suited to its intended electrical application when correctly selected, installed, and maintained.
