SHLD69500 - 500Amp Circuit Breaker

SHLD69500 - 500Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a dependable replacement breaker for an existing power distribution system, the SHLD69500 molded case circuit breaker offers the ratings and adjustability required for many commercial and industrial applications. Built on the SLD600A frame, this 3-pole, 500-amp thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is designed to provide dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection while being compatible with compatible electrical equipment. One feature that makes this breaker especially versatile is its adjustable thermal magnetic trip unit. Instead of relying on fixed protection settings, you can adjust the continuous current setting, long-time delay, and instantaneous trip to better match your electrical system's needs. That flexibility helps make the SHLD69500 a practical, form-fit, and functional replacement for maintaining or servicing existing installations. With interrupting ratings of 35kA at 600VAC, 65kA at 480VAC, and 100kA at 240VAC, this breaker is built to handle demanding electrical distribution applications. Its molded case construction is built to last, making it a dependable choice for protecting feeders, switchboards, panelboards, and other distribution equipment.
