The LG3600A05S01 combines a 600 A amperage rating with a 600 Vac voltage rating, delivering strong overcurrent protection for high-demand industrial feeders. This feature directly reduces equipment damage and maintenance costs while improving overall system reliability, especially in critical power applications where uptime matters. The three-pole L-frame design supports balanced protection across phases, ensuring consistent coordination with downstream devices and easier field service. The Series C architecture enables a compact footprint with proven thermal-magnetic tripping (T186), which translates to fast, predictable responses to fault conditions and minimized arc flash risk in live installations. Auxiliary switching capability (1A-1B, right side) and a shunt trip (12-24 Vac/dc, left side) offer flexible remote control for safety interlocks and automated shutdowns, improving operational safety and controllability. The device supports reverse feed, allowing power recovery strategies and more versatile panel configurations. Generator ratings up to multiple kVA/kW at various voltages (217 kVA/173 kW at 240 Vac, 542 kVA/433 kW at 600 Vac) mean it can be matched to sizable generator sets for emergency or stand-by power. The heavy-duty construction and standardized line/load terminals simplify wiring, reduce installation time, and support straightforward retrofits in existing frames or MCC panels. Compliance-ready features, including UL 489, CSA, and IEC ratings, help installers meet regulatory requirements across regions, while the included warranty provides protection against manufacturing defects for peace of mind during project execution. Overall, the LG3600A05S01 supports improved protection coordination, faster fault isolation, and a lower total cost of ownership for industrial power distribution projects. Long-tail keywords addressed include Series C MCCB compatibility, 600 A MCCB, three-pole molded case circuit breaker, reverse feed capability, and generator-rated protection.

FAQs

The LG3600A05S01 is a three-pole Series C complete molded case circuit breaker designed for 600 Vac systems and 600 A, with Line and Load terminals suitable for standard MCCB panels. Its generator rating (up to 542 kVA at 600 Vac) makes it a strong fit for large standby or prime generator configurations, and its compatibility with right-side auxiliary switches and left-side shunt trips supports customized control and interlock schemes for generator start/stop integration.
T186 refers to a fixed thermal-magnetic trip characteristic used in the Series C MCCB family. It provides automatic protection against both long-duration overloads and short-circuit faults, delivering fast disconnection to minimize damage. This helps maintain system reliability in demanding industrial environments and ensures predictable performance across loads up to 600 A.
Yes, the LG3600A05S01 supports reverse feed configurations. It uses standard line/load terminals, and when wiring for reverse feed you must follow the accessory guidance for correct interconnections and trip coordination. Plan wiring with proper conductor sizing and clear labeling to maintain safety clearances and ensure that auxiliary and shunt-tripping options do not compromise fault isolation behavior.
This MCCB carries UL 489, UL Listed, CSA Certified, CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5, and IEC rated certifications. These indicate compliance with recognized safety and performance standards across North America and international markets, covering fault protection, electrical rating consistency, and material safety. They help regulators, inspectors, and customers validate suitability for industrial installations and new equipment procurement.
The LG3600A05S01 comes with Eaton's warranty policy 25-000, offering one year from the date of installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Routine maintenance includes inspection of terminal connections, verification of trip settings, and monitoring for signs of thermal wear. Leveraging the documented time-current curves and service manuals from Eaton helps optimize replacement intervals and minimize unplanned downtime.
