LAL36250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

LAL36250 - 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

Power your systems with confidence using the LAL36250 molded-case circuit breaker from Square D/ D/Schneider Electric. Crafted for heavy-duty performance, this 250-amp, 3-pole breaker is rated for 600 VAC (and 250 VDC) and can safely interrupt fault currents up to 22 kA at 600 VAC (and 10 kA at 250 VDC). It blends precision overload and short-circuit protection with installation flexibility, making it an excellent option for industrial panels, commercial switchgear, and robust power distribution systems.

Whether you’re upgrading existing infrastructure or building from the ground up, this breaker balances high performance, safety, and adaptability.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dual-trip protection: Combines thermal sensing (for overloads) and magnetic sensing (for faults) in each pole, delivering fast and accurate protection under varying load conditions.
• Push-to-trip control: Allows manual testing of the breaker without exposing live parts, making maintenance safer and more intuitive.
• Flexible mounting options: Designed for unit-mount and I-Line configurations to suit a variety of panel or enclosure types.
• Feed-through terminations: Line and load lugs allow downstream connections, reducing wiring clutter and simplifying distribution setups.
• High fault-current tolerance: Capable of interrupting high fault currents (e.g., 22 kA @ 600 VAC), providing a substantial safety margin in demanding installations.
• Long-term reliability: Manufactured to keep consistent performance over years of operation, backed by Schneider Electric’s standards of quality.
