Engineered for heavy-duty power distribution, the DK3400 is a 400A, 3-pole MCCB from Eaton's Series C K-Frame family. It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit to deliver precise long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. Designed for unit mounting within Eaton switchboards and motor control centers, it includes line and load lugs for dual 3/0 AWG to 250 kcmil conductors. With a 65kAIC rating at 240VAC, this HACR-rated breaker safely handles significant commercial fault currents.
What wire dimensions and materials are the factory lugs rated for on this breaker?
The standard terminal lugs are designed to accommodate two 3/0 AWG to 250 kcmil conductors per phase. They are dual-rated for either aluminum or copper wire.
Where can I install this Series C circuit breaker?

My animal hospital had the main breaker fail. They were able to get the breaker to me in record time. Went right in and fixed the problem.
