Issue:
The maximum size wire that the AL400L61K3 accepts is (1) 600kcmil copper or (1) 500kcmil aluminum. Can this lug be used on 400A and 600A Powerpact L frame breaker?
Product Line:
Circuit Breakers
Environment:
Applies to Powerpact L, 400A and 600A circuit breakers with these prefixes:
Resolution:
Yes, the AL400L61K3 lug kit (standard on the 250A L-frame breaker) may also be used as an optional lug on the 400 A and 600 A Powerpact L-frame circuit breakers (see important note below about wire size and breaker rating). One kit includes 3 lugs. Each lug accepts wire in a range of (1) #2 AWG to 500 kcmil Al or (1) #2 AWG to 600 kcmil Cu.
The lug will fit on both ends of a unit mount breaker, and on the load or OFF end of an I-line breaker. The kit can be factory or field installed.
