Feature: Three-pole LI3800W delivers an 800 A ampacity and a 480 Vac rating, built on Eaton’s proven Series C molded case platform. Business impact: This configuration supports large feeders and motor circuits with predictable tripping characteristics, reducing unplanned downtime and simplifying spare parts planning. Application: Ideal for medium-to-large distribution panels, machine control cabinets, and panelboards in manufacturing facilities and process lines, where reliability and consistency matter. Feature: Fixed thermal magnetic trip (T186) provides reliable short-circuit protection and long-term coordination with upstream devices. Business impact: By selecting precise trip thresholds, it minimizes collateral outages and improves maintenance planning in critical lines. Application: Suitable for drives, fans, conveyors, and PLC-controlled equipment that demand fast, repeatable protection in demanding environments. Feature: Frame L with complete breaker design and terminals without terminals option, plus compatibility with line and load bus extensions. Business impact: Streamlines field installation by reducing terminal hardware handling, enabling quick uprates, and supporting flexible panel layouts. Application: Retrofit projects or new builds where space is constrained and bus extensions are used to align with existing switchgear. Feature: High interrupt ratings of 42 kAIC at 240 Vac and 35 kAIC at 480 Vac ensure robust fault current withstand in diverse plant layouts. Business impact: Enables selective protection strategies and protects downstream equipment, transformers, and feeders from damaging faults. Application: Data centers, heavy manufacturing lines, and power circuits exposed to elevated fault currents. Feature: UL Listed certification and International class designation provide global acceptance and consistent performance. Business impact: Reduces certification friction for multi-site deployments and supports standardization in global supply chains. Application: Global factories, cross-border installations, and projects requiring a common MCCB platform across regional sites. Additional note: Optional bus extensions and accessories further expand install-time flexibility and compatibility with legacy bus systems, while the Eaton warranty supports asset lifecycle management. Paragraph: Warranty coverage is provided under Eaton’s policy, offering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This warranty framework reduces asset risk, simplifies supplier support, and aids in lifecycle budgeting for fleets of MCCBs. Asset management programs and service contracts across multi-site operations benefit from predictable coverage and documented response times.
