Schneider Electric MAP36500 3 Pole Circuit Breaker

MAP36500 is a Schneider Electric Square D molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the MAP series, configured as a 3-pole unit for three-phase protection. It’s rated for 600 V AC and 500 A, making it suitable to protect feeders and distribution circuits in industrial or commercial panels. This bolt-on breaker includes load-side lug terminals and provides thermal-magnetic protection with long-time and instantaneous trip functions to guard against overloads and short circuits. Its interrupting capacity is 30 kA at 480 V, aligning with common medium-voltage MCCB performance for this frame size, while the 600 V rating applies to standard three-phase systems. The MAP36500 carries UL Recognized (UR) labeling, and its rugged frame and molded insulation are designed for reliable operation in demanding electrical environments. Typical applications include electrical distribution in manufacturing facilities, data centers, and large commercial buildings where a 3-phase, 500 A protection device is required. When integrating, confirm panel compatibility with MAP-series breakers and verify the device’s termination and mounting options match the enclosure design and conductors used in the installation.
