Product details

The Square D MGP36800YP is a PowerPact M unit mount breaker rated 800A, 3-pole, with an electronic trip unit and an interrupting capacity of 18 kA at 600 VAC. It comes with a padlock handle for lockout/tagout and lugs off the end for cable termination. This is a Category 01205-MG, MJ UNIT MOUNT BREAKER — a self-contained frame designed for direct mounting in switchboards or panelboards, not a DIN-rail or plug-in style.

What the 18 kA rating means for your panel

That is a moderate SCCR for a 800A frame — enough for most low-voltage distribution downstream of a 500 kVA transformer, but not enough for a high-capacity service entrance near a 2500 kVA unit. The 600 VAC rating covers 480 V and 600 V systems; on a 480 V system the interrupting rating is typically higher (check the nameplate for the 480 V value, which often runs 25 kA or 35 kA on this class of breaker).

Integration notes for the install

Padlock handle accepts up to three padlocks for group LOTO — standard for a main or feeder breaker in a panel that multiple trades work on. Lugs off the end accept aluminum or copper cable; verify the lug wire range against your conductor size before pulling. The unit mount footprint bolts directly to the panel mounting pan — no DIN rail, no subplate adapter. Torque the line and load lugs to the values stamped on the breaker label; under-torquing is the most common cause of thermal trip nuisance on an 800A frame.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy MGP36800YP?

We source the MGP36800YP to order against an RFQ through our independent distribution network. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the interrupting rating of MGP36800YP?

18 kA at 600 VAC. That is the maximum fault current this breaker can safely interrupt at that voltage. On a 480 V system the rating is typically higher, but the 600 V figure is the conservative bound for coordination studies.

Does MGP36800YP have an electronic or thermal-magnetic trip?

Electronic trip. That means adjustable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous pickup settings — useful for selective coordination with downstream breakers. The trip unit is part of the PowerPact M family and is field-replaceable if the unit fails.
