Feature: MDL-frame, three-pole design provides compact, standardized installation and straightforward wiring “from the factory” to support consistent trip coordination across mining switchgear. Business Impact: Reduces cabinet depth space, lowers installation time, and improves protection alignment with adjacent devices. Application: Ideal for mining MCCB enclosures where space is at a premium and reliability is non-negotiable. Feature: Interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit enables on-site accommodation of varying fault profiles without replacing the entire breaker. Business Impact: Cuts spares inventories and speeds maintenance cycles, lowering total cost of ownership. Application: Mines with evolving layouts or changing rock mass conditions can adapt protection settings quickly. Feature: High interrupt ratings (22 kAIC at 250 Vdc; 65 kAIC at 240 Vac; 35 kAIC at 480 Vac; 25 kAIC at 600 Vac) deliver robust fault clearance. Business Impact: Enhanced safety margins and reduced arc fault risk for critical mining feeders. Application: Large-draw mining circuits requiring strong fault current withstand. Feature: 600 A amperage rating at 250 Vdc supports high-load mining feeders with reliable performance. Business Impact: Enables fewer devices in parallel, simplifying protection schemes and improving system reliability. Application: DC-powered mining equipment feeds and battery-backed systems. Feature: CSA Certified and UL Listed certifications provide recognized compliance for mining installations. Business Impact: Streamlines procurement and audit readiness, supporting regulatory alignment. Application: Global mining operations requiring approved electrical protection equipment. Feature: Mining-class frame and specs (MDL frame, three-pole, trip range 1500-3000 A) offer installation compatibility with Eaton’s E2M family. Business Impact: Accelerates retrofit projects and ensures consistent device compatibility. Application: Large mining installations seeking scalable, known-good protection upgrades.

FAQs

Yes. The E2M3600TN is designed for MDL-frame, three-pole mining MCCBs and aligns with the E2M trip unit family. For installation, verify enclosure footprint, busbar spacing, and mounting provisions match the MDL frame, and ensure DC and AC ratings meet the circuit requirements. If upgrading from a non-interchangeable unit, plan for a compatible mounting kit and bus connections to minimize downtime.
Key specs include a 600 A amperage rating at 250 Vdc, a trip range of 1500-3000 A, 22 kAIC at 250 Vdc, and 65 kAIC at 240 Vac (with 35 kAIC at 480 Vac and 25 kAIC at 600 Vac). The unit uses an interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip and is MDL frame-based, with three poles. These ratings guide short-circuit tolerance, voltage compatibility, and protective coordination.
Yes, it is intended for mining applications and carries CSA Certified and UL Listed certifications, which are widely recognized for safety and compliance in hazardous environments. The unit’s mining-class design and protective features address challenging underground conditions, including arc flash safety and fault current management, while maintaining regulatory alignment for procurement and audits.
The interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit allows you to adapt protection settings without replacing the entire breaker, reducing spare-part inventory and downtime during protection upgrades or circuit changes. This capability is particularly valuable in mining operations where demand and fault profiles can evolve, enabling faster maintenance windows and continuous protection without major hardware changes.
The unit delivers robust fault current ratings, scalable trip ranges, and compatibility with the E2M family, translating to fewer nuisance trips and improved uptime for critical feeders. Combined with CSA UL certification and an interchangeable trip option, operators gain predictable protection, easier maintenance planning, and stronger regulatory compliance, contributing to lower operating costs and enhanced safety metrics over the asset life cycle.
