Description

Built for industrial environments, the Schneider Electric LA36400-1021 is a 3-pole, 400A MCCB from the legacy L-Frame family. It utilizes thermal-magnetic technology with an adjustable magnetic trip. This unit plugs into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. For facilities upgrading, this breaker is replaced by the LJA36400U31X, which requires a separate S29386 shunt trip. The "-1021" suffix indicates a factory-installed 120-240VAC shunt trip for remote operation.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What does the -1021 suffix indicate on the LA36400-1021 circuit breaker?

The -1021 suffix designates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be opened remotely by an external control signal.

How does the LA36400-1021 connect to the panelboard?

It features an I-Line style plug-in connection, allowing it to mount directly onto the bus stack of compatible Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards without requiring separate mounting hardware.

What are the lug wire capacity and material requirements for installing the LA36400-1021?

The standard lugs accept either a single 1 AWG to 600 kcmil wire or dual 1 AWG to 250 kcmil wires per phase. Both aluminum and copper conductors are supported.

How does the trip unit function on the LA36400-1021?

This breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection.

What is the modern replacement for the legacy LA36400-1021 breaker?

The LA36400-1021 is a legacy L-Frame breaker. For modern upgrades, it is typically replaced by the PowerPact LGL36400 frame, which requires a separate shunt trip accessory (such as the S29386) to match the -1021 remote trip functionality.

Does the LA36400-1021 include a push-to-trip feature?

Yes, Square D LA breakers include a push-to-trip button that allows the circuit breaker to be manually tripped without exposure to live parts. This is useful for safely testing the mechanical operation of the breaker.
