B-LINE CLD3600T57W – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Eaton CLD3600T57W breaker come with lugs or terminals?
No. The CLD3600T57W is supplied without terminals, so you have to order the L-frame lug or terminal kit separately to land your conductors. Plan that into the job before the breaker goes to the site, because at 600A three-pole you are typically landing large parallel conductors or bus.
2) What is the interrupting rating of the CLD3600T57W at 480 volts?
35 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 65 kAIC at 240 Vac. If your available fault current at the panel exceeds 35 kA on a 480V system, this breaker is not the right selection and you need a higher AIC L-frame or a series-rated arrangement. Voltage rating overall is 600 Vac and 250 Vdc.
3) Can this 600A breaker be loaded continuously to its full 600 amps?
Yes. The CLD3600T57W is 100% rated, so it can carry its full 600A continuously in the proper enclosure, rather than being derated to 80 percent the way a standard-rated breaker is. That matters on continuous loads like large lighting panels, chillers, and data center feeders where an 80% rated 600A device would only be good for 480A.
4) What does the OPTIM 550 electronic LSIA trip unit adjust?
LSIA means long delay, short delay, instantaneous, and ground fault alarm functions are all adjustable on the electronic trip unit, which is what lets you coordinate this 600A feeder breaker with downstream devices instead of relying on a fixed thermal-magnetic curve. One behavior to know when you set it: choosing the long delay I4t response limits the short delay time to a flat response.
5) Is the CLD3600T57W a complete breaker or just an interchangeable trip unit?
It ships as a complete breaker, meaning the L-frame molded case, the three-pole mechanism, and the OPTIM 550 electronic trip unit come together as one assembly. You are not buying a replacement trip unit to drop into an existing frame.
6) Is the Eaton Series C CLD breaker UL Listed?
Yes, it is UL Listed. For an institutional or MRO spec that calls for a listed 600A molded case device on a 600 Vac system, that listing plus the 100% continuous rating is usually the pair of lines the submittal is checked against.
7) What is the exact part number to order for this Eaton 600A three-pole L-frame breaker?
Order Eaton Series C catalog number CLD3600T57W. That number covers the complete three-pole 600A L-frame breaker with the OPTIM 550 electronic LSIA trip, no terminals included.
8) Will this Eaton L-frame breaker work on a 50 Hz system?
Yes, the CLD3600T57W is rated 50 to 60 Hz, so it suits both North American 60 Hz and 50 Hz systems. It also carries a 250 Vdc rating for DC applications.
9) How much space and weight do I need to plan for mounting this 600A breaker?
The unit measures 8.25 inches in height, width, and depth and weighs 10 pounds. Allow for that footprint plus the separately ordered terminal kit and conductor bending space when you lay out the enclosure or switchboard section.
