Part of the 989 series, this 70A three-pole MCCB is built for commercial electrical distribution. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous trip functions. The bolt-on design ensures a secure connection within legacy Square D ML-1 panelboards. It accommodates 4-1/0 AWG wire sizes via the included load-side lugs. Rated for 10kAIC at 240VAC, this thermal-magnetic unit meets UL 489 standards. The robust 99 frame maintains consistent performance.
Which panelboards are compatible with the Square D 989370 circuit breaker?
The 989370 is designed exclusively for installation in legacy Square D ML-1 panelboards. It will not fit in modern I-Line, NQ, or NQOD panels.
Can I upgrade to a modern PowerPact breaker in my ML-1 panelboard?
No. Schneider Electric does not manufacture retrofit adapter kits to install modern PowerPact breakers into legacy ML-1 panelboards. You must use a direct replacement 99 Frame breaker like the 989370 or upgrade the entire panelboard.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the 989370 breaker?
The included load-side lugs accommodate wire gauges ranging from 4 AWG to 1/0 AWG. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Does this breaker require a mounting kit for installation?
No separate mounting kit is required for the panel connection. The 989370 features a direct bolt-on design that secures it directly to the bus of an ML-1 panelboard.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide on this breaker?
The thermal-magnetic LI trip unit provides two types of protection: Long-Time (L) for standard thermal overload protection, and Instantaneous (I) for immediate magnetic tripping during severe short circuits.
Is the Square D 989370 still in active production?
No, the 989370 and the ML-1 series panelboards it supports are legacy products that have been discontinued by Schneider Electric.
