Product FAQs

6 answers
What does the MB suffix mean in the LAL36250MB catalog number?

The MB suffix indicates that the circuit breaker is equipped with a short operating handle. This design allows the breaker to fit behind shallow panel doors where a standard handle might interfere.

What is the magnetic trip adjustability range for this 250A breaker?

The LAL36250MB features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for short-circuit protection. The magnetic trip point can be adjusted between 1250A and 2500A.

Can I install the LAL36250MB directly onto the busbar of a Square D I-Line panelboard?

No, the LAL36250MB is a unit mount circuit breaker designed for bolt-on installation. It does not have the plug-on jaw connections required to mount directly to the busbar in an I-Line panelboard.

What wire sizes are compatible with the standard lugs on this breaker?

The standard lugs 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 wiring.

Does this breaker include a push-to-trip feature for testing?

Yes, the LAL36250MB includes a push-to-trip button. This allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism without exposing personnel to live parts.

Is the LAL frame still the current standard for Square D 250A breakers?

The LAL series is a legacy molded case circuit breaker. While it has been superseded by the newer PowerPacT series for modern installations, the LAL36250MB remains widely used for direct replacements in existing industrial enclosures and switchboards.
