The PLA34080 by Schneider Electric is engineered as a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) with considerable capacity. This unit supports an amperage of 800 A, designed to function efficiently within a P frame structure featuring three poles. The breaker operates at a voltage of 480 VAC, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.

A critical aspect of this device is its thermal magnetic trip type, which provides reliable overcurrent protection. The interrupt ratings maximize at 100 kA for 480V and 125 kA for 240V, ensuring that it can protect circuits against potentially damaging fault conditions. With a continuous current rating at 80% of the specified amperage, the PLA34080 is built to handle substantial workloads consistently.

The mounting style for this circuit breaker is I-Line, allowing for efficient busbar connections on the line side. Additionally, the load side termination uses lugs capable of accommodating wire sizes from 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil, enhancing installation flexibility. Standards compliance, including UL 489, CSA, and IEC, reinforces the product's ability to perform safely and effectively within specified guidelines, adding assurance to its adoption in various electrical systems.
