FAQs
The LG3600X04Y02 is designed for three-pole, L-frame engine-generator protection and supports optional line or load terminals, making it suitable for both source-side protection and downstream circuit protection. Its 5.48 in footprint facilitates retrofits in existing panels, while maintaining alignment with standard mounting patterns and Eaton's engineering data for straightforward installation.
This MCCB carries IEC 947-2, UL 489, and CSA C22.2 No. 5 approvals, ensuring compliance across North America and international markets. These certifications validate safety, performance under fault conditions, and compatibility with common electrical protection schemes used in engine-generator applications, reducing regulatory risk during procurement and commissioning.
Key specs include a 600 A amperage rating, 600 Vac voltage rating, three-pole configuration, and a fixed thermal-magnetic trip type (T186). The device is part of Eaton’s Series C with an L-frame, offering reliable overload protection and fast fault interruption for large generator feeders and standby power systems.
Yes. The LG3600X04Y02 is designed with reverse-feed protection functionality and provides optional line or load terminals, enabling flexible wiring topologies. This is especially valuable for engine-generator installations that require protection coordination during generator startup, switching events, or sudden reversals in power flow.
The device’s robust thermal-magnetic protection reduces nuisance trips, lowering maintenance dispatches. Its certified design supports longer service intervals and easier spare-part planning, contributing to lower total cost of ownership in facilities with frequent generator operation and critical uptime requirements.
