Schneider Electric MHL36500 Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric's MHL36500 Molded Case Circuit Breaker is a 3‑pole, 500 A device rated for 600 V AC, designed for heavy‑duty power distribution in industrial and commercial settings. As part of the Square D MHL family, it uses a thermal‑magnetic trip to provide long‑time and instantaneous overcurrent protection, with an interrupting capacity listed around 65 kAIC for robust short‑circuit protection in feeders and main circuits. The MHL36500 features feed‑through capability and bolt‑on mounting, with line and load terminals included for straightforward substitution or retrofit in compatible enclosures. The rugged gray enclosure supports field‑installable accessories, including a 120 V shunt‑trip option and auxiliary contacts for remote signaling or interlock control, aligning with Square D accessory practices for MCCBs. Designed for use in systems that require 500 A at up to 600 V, this breaker delivers reliable, code‑compliant protection when paired with appropriately rated panels and accessories in industrial control and distribution applications.
