Eaton
Part number
LDCB3500

Quick Summary

LDCB3500 is a molded case circuit breaker designed to protect electrical distribution and control panels in industrial applications. In practice, engineers need reliable protection that minimizes nuisance trips during peak loads and in demanding environments. This unit carries UL 489 certification and UL-listed 100%-rated documentation to support regulatory compliance and dependable performance under fault conditions. The 500 A rating, three-pole L-frame configuration, and aluminum line/load terminals provide a robust foundation for panel protection, motor control centers, and process equipment. For integrators and maintenance teams, this translates to faster commissioning, easier service, and scalable protection across growing plant networks while keeping total cost of ownership in check.

LDCB3500 delivers a focused set of features that translate directly into measurable value for engineering teams. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 500 A amperage rating supports large feeders and motor circuits, reducing the need for oversized downstream protection and enabling simpler panel design for industrial MCCBs and power distribution. This lowers wiring complexity and improves energy management in manufacturing lines. Feature → 200 kAIC at 240 V and 100 kAIC at 480 V interrupt ratings provide high fault current handling, enhancing system resilience in data centers, factory floors, and process plants. Feature → Fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip (T186) delivers fast, reliable protection against overloads and short circuits, minimizing downtime and wear on downstream equipment. Feature → L-frame, three-pole complete breaker offers a compact, standardized footprint that integrates smoothly with Series C MCCBs and common control panels, reducing engineering time during retrofits. Feature → Aluminum line/load terminals ensure robust, vibration-resistant connections in harsh environments typical of industrial environments. Feature → 50/60 Hz operation and a 23 lb weight support easy installation and compatibility across global facilities. Feature → UL 489 certification plus UL-listed 100%-rated documentation provides regulatory confidence and supports warranty continuity under Eaton policy 25-000. These specifications collectively enable reliable motor protection, simplified maintenance, and cost-efficient expansion in panel assemblies and MCC installations.
