MD200V - 200A Circuit Breaker

MD200V - 200A Circuit Breaker

When you're matching a main residential breaker for existing equipment, the physical details can matter just as much as the amp and voltage ratings. The MD200V is a 200 amp, 2-pole Type MDV thermal magnetic circuit breaker with a plug-in configuration and a 10k A.I.C. rating at 120/240VAC. For compatible existing or legacy residential equipment, the MD200V can be considered a form, fit, and functional replacement candidate when its amperage, pole count, voltage, interrupting rating, MDV type, plug-in design, lug arrangement, conductor-entry orientation, and physical dimensions all match the application.

Key Features and Benefits

• 200 Amp, 2-Pole Configuration: Provides clearly defined electrical ratings for comparison with the existing breaker and equipment requirements.
• Type MDV: The MDV designation is an important identifier when matching a replacement to compatible equipment.
• Main Residential Application: Supplied product information identifies this breaker specifically as a main residential circuit breaker.
• Plug-In Design: Uses the specified plug-in configuration for equipment designed to accept this breaker style.
• Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker: The MD200V uses the thermal magnetic trip configuration specified for this model.
• Staggered Lugs: The breaker has staggered lugs, a physical characteristic to check against the existing installation.
• Parallel Wire Entry: Wire enters the lug terminals parallel to the handle action. This orientation is especially important to check when distinguishing between similar breaker configurations.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The available specifications identify staggered lugs on the MD200V and state that the wire enters the lug terminals parallel to the handle action. No information was supplied for the exact lug material, accepted conductor range, terminal torque requirements, or other material-related connection details. Confirm those specifications separately when relevant to the installation.

No specific UL, IEC, RoHS, REACH, or other certification or material-compliance information was provided for the MD200V. Rather than assuming a listing or compliance status, verify any applicable requirement using appropriate product documentation.

Where It Works Best

The MD200V is best considered for compatible existing or legacy residential electrical equipment that requires a 200-amp, 2-pole Type MDV plug-in main circuit breaker with thermal-magnetic operation. A proper electrical match should include the 120/240VAC rating and 10k A.I.C. rating in addition to amperage and pole count.

Pay particular attention to the physical connection arrangement. The MD200V has staggered lugs, and its conductors enter the lug terminals parallel to the handle. The breaker also measures 2.00"W x 7.06"L x 3.25"D. Checking these characteristics against the existing breaker helps establish whether the replacement matches both electrically and physically.
