Schneider Electric MAL26500U Molded Case Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric's Square D MAL26500U Molded Case Circuit Breaker is a 2-pole, 500 A rated device designed for 480 V systems, providing essential overcurrent protection in industrial and commercial power-distribution panels. As part of the MAL family of molded-case breakers, it protects feeders and main circuits in low-voltage installations where compact, high-current MCCB protection is required, including panelboards and switchgear in factories, warehouses, and processing facilities. The 500 A / 480 V rating makes it suitable for heavy-load applications such as motor feeders, large feeders, or main feeders feeding distribution buses in mid-size to large installations.
