Eaton MDL3450 Molded Case Circuit Breaker - UL Listed

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Amperage rating of 450 A in a three-pole MDL frame enables protection of demanding loads without oversizing the switchgear, reducing capital costs while maintaining safety. This translates to fewer nuisance trips in motor and process control circuits and smoother startup sequences in panel assemblies. Application: Suitable for machine controls, panelboards, and distribution blocks in manufacturing settings where reliable fault protection is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 600 Vac and 250 Vdc voltage ratings allow the MDL3450 to span both AC mains and DC control circuits, simplifying stocking and standardization across facilities with mixed voltage requirements. Application: Global plants and multi-line operations benefit from a single MCCB solution across standard and DC-powered equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fixed thermal magnetic trip (T186) delivers predictable, time-coordinated protection, minimizing collateral damage during faults. Application: Critical for process lines requiring selective tripping and rapid fault clearance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Interrupt ratings of 65 kAIC at 240 Vac and 50 kAIC at 480 Vac provide robust fault withstand for high-current events, lowering the risk of equipment damage and improving safety margins in switchgear assemblies. Application: Large motors, conveyors, and press lines with elevated short-circuit currents. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Series C, MDL complete breaker design simplifies integration with existing Eaton MCCB ecosystems, reducing configuration time and improving spare-part compatibility. Application: OEM panel builds and Retrofit projects seeking proven, compatible protection solutions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 50/60 Hz compatibility ensures performance across regional electrical systems, enabling centralized procurement and maintenance programs. Application: Global facilities with diverse electrical grids. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Listed certification provides clear compliance footing for safety audits and installation codes, streamlining procurement and reducing validation time. Application: Industrial distribution panels and safety-critical control panels.
