Three-pole LW frame design delivers synchronized protection across three phases, simplifying coordination in large panels. Business impact: reliable fault isolation reduces unplanned downtime and equipment wear. Application: motor control centers and heavy-load feeders in manufacturing lines. 800 A rating with 690 Vac and 250 Vdc nominals enables a single device to cover main feeders and DC bus protections, reducing part count and spare inventory. Application: distribution panels and machine power rails in mixed-voltage facilities. Interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip type (T207) provides precise trip curves, improving protection coordination and selectivity. Impact: fewer nuisance trips and faster fault isolation. Application: drives, conveyors, and pumps in continuous-process environments. Terminals: shipped without terminals, compatible with Eaton lug kits and multi-wire terminals for flexible field termination. Impact: streamlined cabinet integration and standardized terminations. Application: retrofit projects and modular switchgear installations. Interrupt rating of 45 kAIC at 415 Vac delivers high fault-current capability, enhancing safety margins and compliance with demanding industrial service requirements. Application: service entrances and large distribution panels. Certifications: IEC Rated supports global usage, backed by Eaton’s accessory ecosystem and product selection resources to speed deployment and ongoing maintenance.

FAQs

LW3800W ships without terminals, so plan for field-installed lugs or terminal kits compatible with Eaton accessories. Use the tap rules and multi-wire terminal guides to select the correct lug size and configuration. This approach simplifies cabinet wiring, improves termination reliability, and reduces field retrofit time during panel upgrades or retrofits.
LW3800W is rated for 800 A with a voltage rating of 690 Vac and 250 Vdc. It uses an interchangeably thermal-magnetic trip type (T207) for precise protection coordination. The interrupt rating is 45 kAIC at 415 Vac, and the unit is a three-pole LW frame, designed for robust performance in demanding industrial applications.
Yes. The LW3800W is IEC Rated, confirming compliance with international standards for molded case circuit breakers. Its Series C design and global installation footprint make it well-suited for multinational plants, equipment upgrades, and service entrance installations where standardized protection and interchangeability matter.
A comprehensive suite of Eaton documents accompanies LW3800W, including MOEM MCCB product selection guides, time-current curves, and application notes on terminals and multi-wire connections. Access catalogs, motor operator aids, and service-center references to streamline selection, configuration, and ongoing maintenance in panel builders and upgrade projects.
LW3800W delivers higher uptime through precise protection and reduced nuisance trips, lowers spare part complexity with a single 800 A device for main feeders, and simplifies installation with flexible termination options and broad accessory support. Its IEC Rated certification and robust short-circuit capability help ensure long-term compliance and safe operation in industrial power distribution.
