Description
Delivering 500 amps of reliable power distribution, the Eaton LGC3500FAG is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. It is part of the high-performance Series G family. This unit-mount breaker is engineered for compatibility with Eaton Series G panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It substitutes the PDG33P0500TFAJ. Protection is managed by an LI trip unit, combining fixed thermal defense with an adjustable magnetic response. It provides a robust 100kAIC rating at 480V.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhat does the "FAG" suffix indicate in the LGC3500FAG catalog number?
In the Eaton Series G catalog system, the "FAG" suffix designates that the breaker is equipped with a fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip unit, and that it includes factory-installed line and load terminals.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip work on the LGC3500FAG?
While the thermal overload protection is fixed at 500 amps, the instantaneous magnetic trip is adjustable. This allows electricians to fine-tune the short-circuit response to coordinate with downstream breakers or handle high inrush currents from large motors.
How many conductors can the standard lugs on the LGC3500FAG accept?
The factory-installed lugs are dual-rated for aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) and are designed to accept two conductors per phase. Each terminal can accommodate wire sizes ranging from 2 AWG up to 500 kcmil.
Where is the LGC3500FAG typically installed?
As a unit-mount LG-frame breaker, it is engineered for use in Eaton Series G panelboards, industrial switchboards, and motor control centers requiring high-capacity 500A feed-thru protection.
Is the LGC3500FAG interchangeable with other Eaton Series G frames?
No, the LGC3500FAG is specifically an LG-frame breaker. It requires LG-specific mounting hardware and will not fit in spaces designed for smaller EG or JG frames, or larger NG frames within the Series G family.
