Engineered for heavy-duty commercial and industrial applications, the Square D LAP36250MB delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection. This 3-pole, 250-amp unit mount MCCB is designed for use in Square D switchboards, motor control centers, and control panels. It serves as a drop-in replacement for older LAL or LHL breakers. Rated for 30 kAIC at 480VAC, it includes a short handle (MB suffix) to ensure panel doors close properly and features a Visi-Trip indicator for quick fault detection.
Can I use the LAP36250MB to replace an older LAL or LHL circuit breaker?
Yes, the LAP36250MB serves as a direct drop-in replacement for older Square D LAL and LHL frame breakers with matching specifications.
What does the MB suffix indicate on the LAP36250MB catalog number?
The MB suffix designates a short operating handle. This shorter lever ensures that panel doors can close properly in specific Square D switchboards and control panels where clearance is limited.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this 250A breaker?
The factory-installed lugs accept either a single 1 AWG to 600 kcmil aluminum or copper wire, or two 1 AWG to 250 kcmil wires per phase.

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it approved for use with commercial HVAC and refrigeration motor loads.
Does this L-Frame breaker include a visual trip indicator?

Can this molded case circuit breaker be used in DC applications?
Yes, the LAP36250MB is rated for up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10 kAIC, making it suitable for specific direct current control panels and distribution systems.
How does the LAP36250MB mount inside the panel?
This is a unit-mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It secures directly to the chassis or backpan of Square D switchboards and motor control centers rather than plugging onto a busbar.
Are field-installable accessories compatible with this breaker?
