Built for commercial and industrial applications, the Square D MAP36600 is a 3-pole, 600A molded case circuit breaker. It provides robust overcurrent protection for heavy-duty electrical systems. This bolt-on MCCB installs into compatible Square D panelboards and switchboards. As a legacy component, it is commonly replaced by the modern PowerPact M-Frame series, which requires a retrofit kit for older enclosures. It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a 30kAIC rating at 480VAC.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy Square D MAP36600 circuit breaker?
The MAP36600 is a legacy MAP frame breaker and is commonly replaced by the modern Square D PowerPact M-Frame series. Upgrading to a PowerPact M-Frame breaker in an older panelboard or switchboard typically requires a specific hardware retrofit kit.
What size wire can be used with the MAP36600 circuit breaker?
The standard lugs on the MAP36600 accept up to three conductors per terminal, accommodating wire sizes from 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil. These terminals are rated for use with both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) wire.
In what type of electrical equipment is the MAP36600 designed to be installed?
This bolt-on, feed-thru molded case circuit breaker is engineered specifically for installation in compatible Square D panelboards and switchboards used in heavy-duty commercial and industrial power distribution.
Can the trip thresholds be adjusted on the MAP36600?
Yes, this breaker features an adjustable magnetic trip for instantaneous short-circuit protection. The thermal long-time trip function, which protects the circuit against standard overloads, is fixed and cannot be adjusted.
Is the MAP36600 circuit breaker HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is tested and approved to safely handle the specific electrical demands and inrush currents of commercial heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
