Featuring a specialized short handle, the Square D LAL26400MB is a 2-pole, 400-amp molded case circuit breaker. The "MB" suffix designates a modified handle design that ensures proper clearance so panel doors can close securely in space-constrained applications. This unit-mount breaker installs into compatible panelboards, switchboards, and enclosures. It serves as a replacement for legacy L-Frame installations. The breaker provides thermal-magnetic protection with a 42 kAIC rating at 240V.
What does the MB suffix mean on the Square D LAL26400MB?
The MB suffix indicates that the circuit breaker is equipped with a short handle. This specialized actuator design ensures that panel doors can close securely without interference, which is often required when the breaker is installed in a main breaker position.
What wire sizes are compatible with the lugs on the LAL26400MB?
The factory-installed lugs on this 400A breaker accept either one 1 AWG to 600 kcmil conductor or two 1 AWG to 250 kcmil conductors per phase. The terminals are rated for both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) wiring.
Can the trip settings be adjusted on the LAL26400MB?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic circuit breaker features an adjustable magnetic trip for instantaneous short-circuit protection. The thermal overload protection (long-time) is fixed at the 400A rating.
What types of equipment is the LAL26400MB compatible with?
This unit-mount, feed-thru L-Frame breaker is designed for installation in compatible Square D industrial enclosures, switchboards, and panelboards.
Is the LAL26400MB suitable for DC voltage systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this 2-pole breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, allowing it to be used in specific direct current applications.
How can I safely test the mechanical operation of the LAL26400MB?
This breaker includes a push-to-trip button on the faceplate. This feature allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism without exposing yourself to live electrical parts.
