Eaton E2LM3600KD09 Mining MCCB - 1000Y/577 Vac
Part Number: E2LM3600KD09
Quick Summary
The Eaton E2LM3600KD09 mining MCCB protects mining electrical feeders by interrupting fault currents. This reduces outage duration and equipment damage in harsh mining environments. In mining operations, regulatory alignment and rapid fault interruption are critical; this device supports those needs with a rugged L-frame, three-pole design and an interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip. While compliance specifics should be verified with Eaton, the product carries relevant mining safety documentation and guidance through Eaton’s MSHA-focused resources. For project planning, consider its alignment with metric mounting, end-cap compatibility (KPEKM4), and scalable protection for future mine expansions to maximize uptime and safety.
