SMD69700A - 700Amp Circuit Breaker

SMD69700A - 700Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're replacing an existing SMD800A-frame circuit breaker, the SMD69700A is designed to match the original form, fit, and function. This 700-amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker uses a thermal magnetic trip unit to protect electrical systems against overloads and short circuits, making it a practical choice for maintaining compatible commercial and industrial power distribution equipment. One feature that sets this breaker apart is its adjustable trip unit. Instead of being limited to fixed settings, it allows the continuous current, long-time delay, and instantaneous trip functions to be adjusted to better match the needs of the application. That flexibility can be helpful when coordinating protection with other equipment already installed in the system. Rated for 25kA at 600VAC, 50kA at 480VAC, and 65kA at 240VAC, the SMD69700A is commonly found in switchboards, panelboards, and other heavy-duty electrical distribution equipment. Like many breakers in this frame size, it is built to last and intended for long service in compatible systems. Lug terminals are not included, so they will need to be supplied separately if your installation requires them.

Where It Works Best

• The SMD69700A is a good fit for facilities that rely on higher-capacity electrical distribution equipment, including manufacturing plants, processing facilities, commercial buildings, and institutional properties. It's commonly used in switchboards, panelboards, motor control equipment, and other systems where an SMD800A-frame, 700 amp, 3-pole circuit breaker is specified. For maintenance teams replacing an existing breaker, it provides the ratings and adjustable protection needed to keep compatible systems operating as intended.
