FAQs

Begin by confirming the panel’s busbar clearance and the MCCB’s mounting orientation for the L-frame. Use compatible lugs or field-installable terminals rated for the 400 A rating, then secure the unit with the manufacturer’s mounting hardware. Verify tightness of all connections and ensure compatible conductor sizing. Refer to Eaton’s application notes for multi-wire terminal guidance to avoid improper terminations and ensure compliant short-circuit protection.
The LDB3400W is a three-pole MCCB rated at 400 A with an interrupt rating of 65 kAIC at 240 Vac and 35 kAIC at 480 Vac. It operates at 50/60 Hz and is designed for fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip (T186). This combination provides strong short-circuit protection while minimizing nuisance trips in high-current installations typical of industrial automation.
Yes. The LDB3400W’s Series C, three-pole design and UL 489 listing make it suitable for motor control centers and machine panels where dependable overcurrent protection is required. Its fixed trip characteristics deliver predictable motor-start protection, while the high interrupt ratings accommodate motor fault currents. Ensure proper coordination with motor overloads and harmonics per application curves.
The LDB3400W carries UL 489 certification, confirming its compliance with recognized safety and performance standards for molded case circuit breakers. This listing supports regulatory acceptance in many regions and simplifies external audits. When regional requirements vary, consult Eaton documentation and compatibility guides for any supplementary certifications relevant to your installation.
Eaton provides a one-year warranty from installation or an 18-month period from shipment under policy 25-000, whichever comes first. This coverage supports commissioning, field service, and coverage during initial operation. For ongoing maintenance, leverage Eaton’s breaker service centers and product literature to maximize uptime and ensure continued compliance.
