Product FAQs
7 answersWhat enclosures and equipment are compatible with the LGE3500FAG?
As an LG-frame Series G breaker, it is designed for unit-mount installation in Eaton Series G panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
What does the FA in the LGE3500FAG catalog number signify?
The FA indicates that the breaker features a fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip unit. While the thermal overload protection is fixed at 500A, the instantaneous magnetic trip threshold can be adjusted for selective coordination or to handle motor inrush currents.
What does the E in the LGE3500FAG catalog number represent?
The E designates the interrupting rating tier within the Eaton Series G LG-frame family. For this breaker, it indicates a standard interrupting capacity of 35 kAIC at 480VAC.
How many conductors per phase can the LGE3500FAG lugs accept?
The standard lugs on this 500A breaker are designed to accept two conductors per phase, accommodating wire sizes from 2 AWG up to 500 kcmil for both copper and aluminum.
Are line and load terminals included with the LGE3500FAG?
Yes, the G at the end of the LGE3500FAG catalog number indicates that the breaker is supplied with standard line and load lugs installed. Breakers ending in W are supplied without lugs.
How is the LGE3500FAG mounted within an enclosure?
The LGE3500FAG is a unit-mount breaker. It bolts directly to the backpan or mounting surface of the enclosure and connects to the circuit using the provided line and load lugs, rather than plugging directly onto a panelboard bus.
Is the LGE3500FAG a direct replacement for older Cutler-Hammer LG-frame breakers?
Yes, the LGE3500FAG is part of the Eaton / Cutler-Hammer Series G family and can directly replace older Cutler-Hammer branded LGE3500FAG breakers, as they share the same physical dimensions and LG-frame footprint.
