The standard mechanical lugs on this feed-thru breaker accept two 1 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors per phase.
What do the LI trip functions mean on this breaker?
The LI designation indicates the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (L) overload protection and Instantaneous (I) short-circuit protection. The thermal element for long-time protection is fixed, while the instantaneous magnetic response is adjustable via a dial on the front faceplate.
Can the Eaton HMDL3400 be reverse fed?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker is suitable for reverse-feed applications, allowing it to be wired with power entering from either the top or bottom terminals.
