MHP36600 - 600 Amp Circuit Breaker

MHP36600 - 600 Amp Circuit Breaker

When a distribution system calls for a 600-amp, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker, the MHP36600 offers the electrical ratings required for many commercial and industrial applications. This thermal magnetic breaker is built to handle everyday overload protection while also responding quickly during short-circuit conditions. It is intended for 60Hz systems and carries interrupting ratings of 25kA at 600VAC and 65kA at both 480VAC and 240VAC. The breaker is also supplied with load lugs, making it ready for compatible installations. Whether you're replacing an existing breaker during maintenance or keeping an established electrical system in service, matching the original ratings is essential. The MHP36600 is intended for applications where the required ampacity, voltage ratings, pole configuration, and physical fit align with the existing equipment. Its molded-case construction is built to last and suitable for operation in environments with ambient temperatures up to 40°C.
