Product FAQs
5 answers
Can I use the Eaton MDL3600 to replace an older Westinghouse MDL3600?
Yes. Eaton acquired the distribution equipment division of Westinghouse and continues to manufacture the Series C product line. The Eaton MDL3600 is a direct, drop-in replacement for both legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer breakers that share the same catalog number.
Is the MDL3600 rated to carry its 600A capacity continuously?
No, this is a standard-rated breaker intended to carry up to 80% of its nameplate amperage for continuous loads lasting three hours or more. If your installation requires a 100% continuous rating, you will need the CMDL3600 variant.
How many conductors can be landed on each phase?
The factory-installed line and load lugs feature a dual-barrel design, allowing you to terminate two conductors per phase. These terminals accept 1 AWG through 500 kcmil aluminum or copper wire.
Does this breaker feature adjustable trip settings for coordination?
No. The MDL3600 utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic pickup points. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection but does not have field-adjustable dials for custom trip curve shaping.
Does the MDL3600 plug onto a busbar or mount to a backpan?
This is a unit-mount, feed-thru breaker equipped with standard line and load lugs. It is designed to be fastened directly to an enclosure backpan or mounting plate and hardwired on both ends.
