Product FAQs
6 answersWhat enclosures or panels are compatible with the LGH3600FAGC?
This LG-frame breaker is designed for installation in Eaton Series G panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It is a unit mount breaker, meaning it bolts directly to the chassis or mounting pan rather than plugging onto a bus.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed line and load lugs accept two cables per phase, ranging from 2 AWG to 500 kcmil. These specific lugs are rated for copper (Cu) wire only. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip work on the LGH3600FAGC?
This breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal (overload) protection and an adjustable magnetic (short-circuit) pickup. The adjustable instantaneous setting allows electricians to fine-tune the short-circuit response to coordinate with other protective devices in the system.
What do the FA, G, and C suffixes indicate in the LGH3600FAGC catalog number?
In the Eaton Series G nomenclature, FA indicates a fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip unit. The G signifies that the breaker comes factory-equipped with line and load terminals. The C suffix designates that the breaker is 100% rated, allowing it to carry its full 600A continuous current without the standard 80% derating factor.
Is the LGH3600FAGC rated for DC applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for 250VDC systems with an interrupting capacity of 42kAIC.
Does the LGH3600FAGC provide ground fault protection?
No, this specific model features an LI (Long-Time, Instantaneous) trip unit. It provides overload and short-circuit protection but does not include integrated ground fault protection.
