Product FAQs
7 answers
What equipment is the Eaton LDC3600 circuit breaker compatible with?
The LDC3600 is a Series C L-frame breaker designed for installation in Eaton Pow-R-Line 4 panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Can the Eaton LDC3600 replace an older Westinghouse LDC3600 breaker?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment business, and the current Eaton or Cutler-Hammer LDC3600 serves as a direct replacement for legacy Westinghouse breakers sharing the same catalog number.
What are the wire size requirements for the standard lugs on the LDC3600?
The standard lugs accept two cables per phase. The acceptable wire range is 400 to 500 kcmil, and the terminals are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors.
How does the trip unit function on the LDC3600?
This breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal overload set at 600 amps and an adjustable magnetic instantaneous trip. The adjustable magnetic setting allows electricians to coordinate the breaker with downstream devices or account for motor inrush currents.
Is the LDC3600 rated for direct current applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC systems up to 250VDC, providing a maximum interrupting capacity of 22 kAIC for those specific applications.
How is the LDC3600 mounted in an electrical enclosure?
It is a unit-mount breaker with a feed-thru connection type. This means it bolts directly to the enclosure backpan or mounting surface, and conductors are terminated at both the line and load lugs rather than plugging into a busbar.
Is the LDC3600 suitable for high fault current applications at 480V?
Yes, the LDC3600 provides a high interrupting rating of 100 kAIC at 480VAC, making it suitable for industrial facilities and switchboards with high available fault currents.
