Fixed thermal and magnetic trips provide precise overcurrent protection, enabling fast, predictable responses to faults while minimizing nuisance trips. This improves equipment longevity and reduces unplanned downtime in critical production lines by preventing unnecessary shutdowns and ad-hoc retesting. The MDLB2700A12S13 is well suited for industrial control panels that demand reliable protection without compromise. 700 A amperage rating with 65 kAIC at 240 VAC and 50 kAIC at 480 VAC delivers robust fault-current protection for medium-to-high load applications. This capability supports denser panel designs and fewer devices while maintaining rapid dissipation of fault energy, reducing conductor stress and the risk of damage to downstream equipment across manufacturing floors. Series C MDL frame compatibility and the two-pole MDLB configuration simplify installation in new builds and retrofit projects. The left pigtail shunt trip option and the ability to accommodate 380-440 VAC or 220-250 Vdc inputs provide flexible control strategies for centralized protection schemes and remote disabling when needed. Auxiliary switch 2A-2B on the same side with a right pigtail simplifies control wiring and status indication within control panels. This reduces wiring complexity, accelerates commissioning, and improves fault-detection visibility for operators and maintenance personnel. UL Listed certification supports compliance with widely adopted safety standards, while Eaton's warranty terms add predictability for procurement and servicing. The combination of rugged protection, scalable amperage, and flexible trip options makes this MCCB a reliable choice for industrial protection, helping customers meet uptime targets and regulatory requirements.
