SHMD69700A - 700Amp Circuit Breaker

SHMD69700A - 700Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a 700 amp molded case circuit breaker that matches the form, fit, and function of your existing electrical system, the SHMD69700A is built to do exactly that. This 3-pole, thermal magnetic circuit breaker is manufactured on an SMD800A frame and is designed to provide dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection in commercial and industrial power distribution systems. Its adjustable trip unit lets you tailor the breaker to your application by allowing changes to the continuous current setting, long-time delay, and instantaneous trip settings, making it easier to coordinate with the rest of your electrical equipment. Built to last and intended for compatible legacy installations, the SHMD69700A helps keep existing systems operating without requiring equipment modifications. Please note that this breaker does not include lug terminals, so they must be supplied separately if your installation requires them.
