Part of the legacy L-Frame series, this 600A current-limiting MCCB delivers robust protection for commercial and industrial systems. It features thermal-magnetic trip technology with adjustable instantaneous settings. Designed for Square D I-Line panelboards, it utilizes a plug-on connection for rapid installation. For modern upgrades, this breaker is replaced by the LRA36600U31X model.

Product FAQs

What panelboards are compatible with the LI36600 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. The I-Line plug-in mounting style allows the breaker to snap directly onto the busbar system, making installation faster than traditional bolt-on configurations.
What size wire can be used with the lugs on the LI36600?
The standard factory lugs accept two conductors per phase, ranging from 4/0 AWG to 500 kcmil. They are rated for both aluminum and copper wire. Always apply the correct torque specifications as outlined on the breaker faceplate during installation.
What does the LI trip function indicate on this 600A breaker?
The LI designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit includes Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. The thermal element provides fixed overload protection, while the magnetic element offers adjustable short-circuit protection to help coordinate with other devices in your electrical system.
Is the Square D LI36600 considered a current-limiting breaker?
Yes, this model is a current-limiting circuit breaker. It is engineered to clear high-level fault currents extremely fast, reducing the let-through energy and protecting downstream equipment from severe electrical and mechanical stress.
Is the LI36600 part of a legacy product line?
Yes, the LI36600 is a legacy L-frame molded case circuit breaker. While Square D has introduced newer series like the PowerPact L-frame, this exact model remains widely used to maintain and service existing I-Line panelboards without requiring busbar modifications.
What safety precautions are required when installing an I-Line breaker of this size?
Always de-energize the panelboard before installing or removing a 600A breaker. Due to the high fault current ratings and physical weight of the L-frame, installation should only be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician using appropriate personal protective equipment.
