Understanding circuit breaker design and operation to improve safety and reliability in underground mining
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The E2LM3600WS02U42Z12 uses an interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip (T207) with a magnetic trip range of 3000-6000 A, enabling precise coordination and reduced nuisance trips in high fault-current mining feeders and motors. This translates to lower downtime and safer start-up sequences in active mine sites. Application: mining MCCBs in motor control centers and panel boards where consistent fault interruption is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The L-frame, complete three-pole design delivers robust, uniform protection across phase conductors, simplifying wiring and replacement in dusty, aggressive mining environments. Application: control panels and switchgear in underground and surface mining facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Shunt trip capability (12-24 Vac/dc, left side) enables remote tripping for emergency interlocks and safety interlocks, reducing reaction time and improving personnel safety. Application: remote tripping in conveyor, crusher, and ore handling circuits. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Undervoltage release (24 Vac rear, right pigtail) provides fail-safe de-energization and controlled shutoff during power disturbances, protecting both equipment and operators. Application: safety interlock and power-loss scenarios in mining MCCs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: High interrupt ratings (42 kAIC at 250 Vdc, 65 kAIC at 480 Vac, etc.) support rugged fault handling for large mining loads, minimizing equipment damage and feeder interruption time. Application: high-current mining feeders and heavy-duty motor circuits. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with E2 mining series and accessories ensures a straightforward upgrade path, reducing retrofit cost and installation time. Application: modernization projects and capacity expansions in mining facilities. The combination of rugged construction, flexible control options, and substantial interrupt capabilities delivers measurable improvements in system availability and safety for mining operations.

FAQs
Mount the 3-pole E2LM3600WS02U42Z12 using the Line and Load terminals specified for a complete L-frame breaker. Ensure correct alignment with the 3TA401LDK line/load designation and accommodate the right-hand undervoltage release and left-side shunt wiring. Verify deep enclosures and proper clearance to manage heat during high-current operation in mining MCCs.
Key specs include a 600 A amperage rating, voltage tolerance of 1000Y/577 Vac and 250 Vdc, and a magnetic trip range of 3000-6000 A with a T207 trip type. Interrupt ratings span up to 65 kAIC at 480 Vac, supporting high fault currents typical in mining environments, while a three-pole design provides balanced protection.
Yes. The device offers a wide magnetic trip range (3000-6000 A) and high interrupt ratings (up to 65 kAIC at 480 Vac), making it well-suited for mining feeders and heavy mine motor circuits where rapid fault interruption minimizes equipment damage and downtime.
Compliance and certification details are provided by the manufacturer, and MSHA-related safety letters are available in Eaton's downloads. For project-specific approvals (CE, UL, IP ratings), contact Eaton to obtain the exact certificates and test reports that apply to your mining installation.
The unit’s rugged L-frame design and interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip reduce maintenance spares and simplify retrofits. Remote shunt and undervoltage release options enable safer, remote control, lowering downtime. With a 1-year installation warranty (or 18 months from shipment) and compatibility within the E2 mining family, total cost of ownership improves over legacy breakers.
