Product FAQs
5 answers
What wire sizes are supported by the standard lugs on this breaker?
The standard lugs accept three conductors per phase, ranging from 3/0 AWG to 400 kcmil for both aluminum and copper wire (Al/Cu).
What is the difference between the MDL3700 and the HMDL3700?
The primary difference is the interrupting capacity. The MDL3700 is rated at 50kAIC at 480VAC, while the HMDL3700 is a high-interrupting version rated at 65kAIC at 480VAC.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on the MDL3700?
No, this breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings for its long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection functions.
Can this breaker be installed in older Westinghouse panels?
Yes, Eaton Series C breakers are backward compatible with legacy Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse Series C panelboards and switchboards.
Does the MDL3700 require a specific mounting hardware kit?
As a unit-mount breaker, it bolts directly to the mounting surface or panel rather than plugging into a busbar. Specific hardware depends on the panelboard or switchboard chassis being used.
