Configured with a space-saving short handle, this 400A molded case circuit breaker provides reliable thermal-magnetic trip functions. It serves heavy commercial power distribution needs. The unit-mount design integrates into older Square D L-frame enclosures and panelboards. While this model is a legacy component, it can be substituted by the newer PowerPact LGL36400 series. Rated for 65kA at 240VAC, the device ensures excellent fault clearing and features a push-to-trip testing mechanism.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the "MB" suffix mean in the LHL36400MB catalog number?
The "MB" suffix indicates that the circuit breaker is equipped with a shorter handle. This design allows the breaker to fit properly behind panel doors in specific enclosures where a standard handle would prevent the door from closing.
What enclosures and panels are compatible with this breaker?
The LHL36400MB is a unit mount breaker designed for use in older Square D L-Frame enclosures, as well as compatible legacy switchboards and panelboards.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this breaker?
The standard lugs accept either one 1 AWG to 600 kcmil wire or two 1 AWG to 250 kcmil wires per phase. Both aluminum and copper conductors are supported.
Is the LHL36400MB still in active production?
The Square D L-Frame series is a legacy product line. For new installations or direct upgrades, it has largely been replaced by the newer PowerPact L-Frame series, such as the LGL36400.
How does the trip unit operate on this breaker?
This breaker features a thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic settings. The adjustable magnetic function allows you to set the instantaneous short-circuit trip point to coordinate with other devices in your electrical system.
Does this breaker include a push-to-trip feature?
Yes, it includes a push-to-trip button. This allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the tripping mechanism without exposing personnel to live parts.
