Product FAQs
5 answers
What does the MT suffix indicate on the LAP36400MT catalog number?
The MT suffix signifies that this circuit breaker includes a factory-installed plug-on shroud. This shroud is typically located on the OFF end of the breaker to facilitate specific connections in Square D switchboards and motor control centers.
Is the LAP36400MT compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards?
No. The LAP36400MT is a unit-mount (bolt-on) circuit breaker designed for switchboards, motor control centers, and control panels. I-Line panelboards require a breaker with plug-on jaw connections, such as the standard LA36400.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip function on the LAP36400MT?
While the thermal overload protection is fixed, the instantaneous magnetic trip element can be adjusted. This allows panel builders and electricians to tune the short-circuit response range to properly coordinate with downstream devices and specific motor loads.
How can I safely verify the mechanical operation of this breaker?
The LAP36400MT is equipped with a push-to-trip button on the front face. This feature allows electricians to manually trip the breaker mechanism and verify its mechanical integrity without requiring exposure to live electrical parts.
What is the modern replacement path for the legacy LAP36400MT?
While the LAP36400MT remains available for maintaining existing systems, facilities upgrading to modern switchgear typically replace these legacy L-Frame breakers with Square D PowerPact L-Frame models (such as the LJA series) using an appropriate retrofit kit.
