Eaton LD2500 - 500 A, 600 V, 2-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton LD2500 — a 500 A, 600 V, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Built to fit seamlessly within Eaton and OEM ecosystems, this unit delivers robust protection where it matters most, from residential service upgrades to commercial and light industrial feeders.

Why the LD2500 stands out

• Compact molded case design minimizes footprint while delivering heavy-duty protection, maximizing panel space for more circuits and easier wiring layouts.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection by combining thermal sensing for overload with magnetic instant-trip for short circuits—helping prevent nuisance trips and minimizing downtime.
• 2-pole configuration interrupts both hot conductors simultaneously, ensuring balanced protection and reducing the risk of arc flash or unbalanced faults in larger branch circuits.
• OEM panel compatibility designed to pair with matching Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards, delivering consistent fit, protection characteristics, and starter-to-trip coordination.
• Versatile applications suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments requiring reliable, high-current branch protection.
