800 A amperage rating enables handling of large motor loads with minimal nuisance trips, reducing unplanned downtime and improving line efficiency for critical processes. This translates to fewer production interruptions and lower maintenance costs in manufacturing environments where uptime is essential. The three-pole MDL frame provides true three-phase protection, enabling straightforward coordination with existing panel architectures and ancillary devices for reliable power distribution. The high interrupt rating of 65 kAIC at 240 Vac and 50 kAIC at 480 Vac minimizes fault energy in upstream conductors, enhancing system safety and reducing the risk of collateral equipment damage during faults. With fixed thermal and magnetic trip (T186), protection is fast, predictable, and less susceptible to nuisance operation in motor and drive circuits, supporting compliant motor control schemes. Walking beam provisions simplify field wiring and terminations, improving installation speed and reducing the risk of connection errors. UL Listed certification confirms adherence to recognized safety and performance standards, while compatibility with the Series C family ensures easier accessory integration and lifecycle support. This combination delivers improved protection reliability, streamlined maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership for industrial power protection solutions.
