MGP36800 - 800 Amp Circuit Breaker

The MGP36800 800 A Circuit Breaker delivers industrial-grade protection and performance for commercial electrical systems that demand reliability and precision. Designed as part of the PowerPacT® M-Frame series from a leading manufacturer, this 3-pole circuit breaker handles 600 VAC environments with a high interrupting capacity (18 kA at 600 VAC). It features an ET 1.0 electronic trip unit for intelligent fault detection and response. Whether you’re safeguarding sizable panelboards, distribution feeds or mission-critical infrastructure, the MGP36800 helps ensure your system stays secured against short-circuit or overload events while meeting global certification standards and sustainability expectations.

Key Features and Benefits

• High-capacity performance: With an 800 A line current rating and 80 % continuous rating, this breaker is built to support heavy industrial or commercial loads and long service intervals.
• Advanced electronic trip unit (ET 1.0): The fixed long-time setting electronic trip technology facilitates accurate fault detection versus traditional thermal-magnetic breakers, enhancing protection confidence.
• Secure connections: Terminal nuts on the line side and lugs on the load side simplify installation and produce dependable terminations under heavy duty conditions.
• Global safety compliance: Built to meet UL 489, CSA, IEC 60947-2, NOM, and CE marking standards, this breaker satisfies international safety and performance criteria for broad usage.
• Service-friendly design: A built-in “push-to-trip” button supports manual testing and maintenance, helping you validate breaker readiness without complex procedures.
