Designed for industrial power distribution, the Square D LAL36300 is a 300A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. It provides dependable thermal-magnetic protection for demanding environments. This unit-mount breaker installs into Square D switchboards, enclosures, and motor control centers. It is part of the legacy L-Frame family and is officially replaced by the LGL36300 model. It features an adjustable magnetic trip, a 30kAIC rating at 480VAC, and is HACR rated for HVAC applications.
What are the adjustable magnetic trip settings for the LAL36300?
The LAL36300 features an adjustable instantaneous magnetic trip range with a low setting of 1,500A and a high setting of 3,000A.
Is the thermal trip setting on this breaker adjustable?
No, the thermal overload protection is fixed at 300A. Only the short-circuit magnetic trip function is adjustable.
Which lug kit is compatible with the LAL36300 circuit breaker?
