Designed for versatile power distribution, the Square D LAL26200 is a 2-pole, 200A molded case circuit breaker. It features a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that delivers reliable long-time and instantaneous protection for industrial systems. This unit mount MCCB fits into standard enclosures, and is often replaced by PowerPacT J-Frame models. With an interrupting capacity of 42kA at 240VAC, it safely clears high-level faults and includes a push-to-trip mechanism for manual testing.
What are the acceptable wire sizes and materials for the LAL26200 lugs?
The standard lugs accept either one 1 AWG to 600 kcmil aluminum or copper conductor, or two 1 AWG to 250 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors per phase.
How does the LAL26200 mount within an enclosure or panelboard?
This is a unit-mount breaker, meaning it bolts directly to the mounting pan or backplate of an enclosure, switchboard, or panelboard rather than plugging onto a bus. It requires appropriate cable connections on both the line and load sides.
Can the trip settings on the LAL26200 be adjusted?
The thermal element for long-time trip is fixed at 200 amps. However, the magnetic element for instantaneous trip is adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune the short-circuit response based on the specific load requirements.
What is the difference between the LAL26200 and the LHL26200?
Both are 2-pole, 200-amp, unit-mount L-frame breakers. The primary difference is the interrupting rating. The LAL has a standard interrupting capacity, while the LHL features a high interrupting capacity for systems with higher available fault currents.
Is this breaker suitable for reverse feeding?
Standard LAL thermal-magnetic breakers without internal accessories can generally be reverse fed. Always check the breaker faceplate for specific Line and Load markings, as NEC regulations prohibit reverse feeding if these markings are present.
Can the LAL26200 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kA. Ensure proper wiring configurations are followed for DC installations as specified by the manufacturer.
