Built with a specialized short handle (MB suffix), the Square D LAL26250MB is a 2-pole, 250A molded case circuit breaker. This configuration ensures standard panel doors can close without interference. The unit-mount device installs into industrial enclosures and switchboards. When retrofitting, it is replaced by the LGL36250, though handle clearance must be verified. It delivers reliable LI protection with an adjustable magnetic trip, HACR rating, and 42kAIC capacity at 240VAC.
What does the MB suffix indicate on the Square D LAL26250MB circuit breaker?
The MB suffix designates a factory-installed short operating handle. This shorter lever actuator allows panel doors to close properly when the breaker is installed in shallow industrial enclosures or switchboards.
What wire sizes are compatible with the lugs on the LAL26250MB breaker?
The standard lugs accept either one 1 AWG to 600 kcmil aluminum or copper wire, or two 1 AWG to 250 kcmil aluminum or copper wires per phase.
Does the LAL26250MB include a push-to-trip feature?
Yes, this breaker includes a push-to-trip button. This allows you to manually trip the breaker for testing the mechanical linkage without exposing yourself to live electrical parts.
Is the trip unit on the LAL26250MB adjustable?
This thermal-magnetic breaker features a fixed thermal trip for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic trip for short-circuit protection.
How is the LAL26250MB circuit breaker mounted?
This is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It is designed to be bolted directly into compatible industrial enclosures, motor control centers, and switchboards rather than plugging into an I-Line busway.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy Square D LAL series breakers?
The legacy LAL frame breakers are typically replaced by the newer Schneider Electric PowerPacT L-frame series. When retrofitting, always verify that the new breaker dimensions and handle clearances match your existing enclosure.
Is the LAL26250MB suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
