FAQs

The LDCB3600 uses an L-frame design with line and load terminals made of aluminum, promoting a compact, robust installation in standard panel racks. Its fixed trip mechanism supports straightforward wiring, allowing technicians to connect feeders quickly while maintaining a secure, vibration-resistant connection. This makes it well-suited for control panels and machine enclosures that require reliable, high-current protection with minimal field adjustments.
The breaker employs a fixed thermal-magnetic trip (T186), which delivers consistent protection during startup surges and fault events. This reduces nuisance trips and unplanned downtime while maintaining precise overcurrent protection. In motor control centers and automated lines, this results in smoother operations and longer equipment life due to improved fault discrimination and rapid fault clearance.
Yes. The LDCB3600 is rated for up to 600 A with a short-circuit interrupt rating of 200 kAIC at 240 VAC and 100 kAIC at 480 VAC. This makes it appropriate for main feeders and protection of large loads in industrial environments where high-energy faults can occur. It supports reliable, code-compliant protection in both 240 and 480 VAC systems.
The product is UL 489 listed, confirming compliance with recognized standards for molded case circuit breakers. This helps satisfy electrical protection requirements in many jurisdictions. Note that CE marking and IP ratings are not listed in the provided data, so please verify regional applicability if CE or IP specifications are a requirement for your project.
Eaton provides a warranty per policy 25-000: one year from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This warranty, combined with Eaton’s service centers and readily available replacement parts, supports a lower total cost of ownership and predictable maintenance planning for serialized equipment across plant lines.
