MH36500 - 500 Amp Circuit Breaker

MH36500 - 500 Amp Circuit Breaker

When your existing I-Line panelboard calls for an MH36500, start by matching the electrical and physical specifications. The MH36500 is a 500 amp, 3-pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker specified for use with compatible I-Line panelboards. For maintenance, repair, or replacement work, the MH type, 500A rating, three-pole configuration, voltage-specific A.I.C. ratings, and I-Line panelboard application provide useful checkpoints for determining form, fit, and functional compatibility. Its solid molded-case construction is built to last when the breaker is correctly selected, installed, and maintained for its intended electrical application.

Key Features and Benefits

• 500 Amp Rating: Rated at 500A for applications requiring this specific current rating.
• Three-Pole Configuration: The 3-pole design is an important compatibility point when matching an existing MH circuit breaker.
• For I-Line Panelboards: Specifically identified for use with compatible I-Line panelboards.
• Thermal Magnetic Design: The supplied product data identifies the MH36500 as a thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker.
• 60Hz Operation: Specified for 60Hz electrical systems.
• 40°C Rating: Carries a stated 40°C rating for another clear application-matching specification.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The supplied specifications for the MH36500 did not include any specific UL, CSA, IEC, RoHS, REACH, HACR, or other certification or material-compliance information. Rather than assuming information from other MH breakers, verify any required certification or compliance status specifically for this part number.

Where It Works Best

The MH36500 500 amp circuit breaker is a form, fit, and functional replacement candidate for existing or legacy I-Line panelboard equipment that requires its specific MH type, 500A rating, three-pole configuration, thermal magnetic design, and physical dimensions.

Before installation, compare the system requirements with the breaker's voltage-specific interrupting ratings: 25k at 600VAC, 65k at 480VAC, and 65k at 240VAC. The 9.00" W x 16.00"L x 4.54"D dimensions, 60Hz frequency, and 40°C rating should also match the requirements of the existing equipment.
