The MGL36700 is a 3-pole, 700A MCCB from the Square D PowerPacT M-Frame family. Engineered for commercial distribution, it provides reliable power management for motor control centers and switchboards. This unit-mount breaker installs into standard Square D enclosures. Note that this model is replaced by the PGL36080, which requires a retrofit kit. Rated 35kAIC at 480V, it utilizes an ET 1.0 electronic trip unit (LI) for precise coordination that is unaffected by ambient temperature changes.
What wire size and torque are required for the lugs on the MGL36700?
The standard mechanical lugs accept three 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors per phase. The wire binding screws must be torqued to 442.5 lb-in (50 N.m).
Can I adjust the trip settings on the MGL36700?
The MGL36700 features a basic ET 1.0 electronic trip unit with fixed long-time protection and adjustable instantaneous protection. The instantaneous pickup can typically be adjusted from 2 to 10 times the nominal rating, but the long-time trip point cannot be field adjusted.
