Delivering robust performance, the Square D LAL34225MC1212 is a 3-pole, 225A molded case circuit breaker. It provides reliable protection for industrial systems requiring high magnetic withstand. This unit mount L-Frame breaker installs into compatible panelboards and switchboards. The lug terminals accommodate aluminum and copper wiring for versatile integration. The "MC" prefix signifies mission critical calibration. The "1212" suffix adds a 1A/1B auxiliary switch for status signaling.
What do the MC and 1212 suffixes indicate on the LAL34225MC1212?
The MC suffix denotes mission critical calibration, optimizing the breaker for mission critical loads. The 1212 suffix indicates the inclusion of a factory-installed 1A/1B auxiliary switch (one normally open and one normally closed contact) for remote status signaling.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the lugs on this breaker?
The factory lugs accommodate either a single 1 AWG to 600 kcmil wire or dual 1 AWG to 250 kcmil wires per phase. Both aluminum and copper conductors are supported.
Is the LAL34225MC1212 an I-Line or unit-mount breaker?
This is a unit-mount (feed-thru) breaker. It is designed to be bolted to a mounting pan or chassis and wired via lugs on both the line and load sides, unlike I-Line breakers which plug directly onto a panelboard bus.
How does the trip unit function on the LAL34225MC1212?
It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) functions. The thermal element provides fixed overload protection, while the magnetic instantaneous trip is adjustable to allow coordination with other devices in the system.
Can I use this breaker to replace an older Square D LAL breaker with the same specifications?
Yes, it shares the same physical dimensions and mounting footprint as standard Square D L-Frame unit-mount breakers, making it a direct replacement for older LAL models with matching amperage and voltage requirements.
Does this breaker provide ground fault protection?
No, the LAL34225MC1212 features standard LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) trip functions for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include integral ground fault or equipment ground fault protection.
Are line and load lugs included with this breaker?
Yes, this feed-thru breaker comes equipped with factory-installed lugs on both the line and load sides, ready for conductor termination.
