Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 140U-MTD3-D45 is a replaceable thermal-magnetic trip unit for M-frame circuit breakers (Bulletin 140U series) rated at 450 Amps at 40C, with a thermal trip setting of 450 Amps and an adjustable magnetic trip range of 2250-4500 Amps. Its M-frame design includes metal tabs and angled load ends to prevent incorrect installation in Q-frame devices. Before installation, inspect the unit, install any internal accessories, and ensure the circuit breaker is tripped. Verify the nameplate information matches system requirements. Adjust the magnetic settings on each pole using a screwdriver, ensuring the adjustment buttons are set at detents. The factory-sealed cover prevents calibration tampering. This 140U series device complies with UL 489, CE, CSA, and KEMA-KEUR standards.
Is Your Device Showing These Signs?
The Allen Bradley 140U-MTD3-D45 molded case circuit breaker commonly experiences issues such as nuisance tripping due to incorrect overload settings or thermal magnetic trip unit malfunction. Corrosion on the line and load side terminals is a frequent problem, leading to increased resistance and potential overheating. Failed or damaged operating mechanisms prevent proper breaker operation, necessitating replacement or repair. Furthermore, the breaker's inability to maintain proper insulation resistance results in ground faults and compromised circuit protection.

Installation requires inspection, accessory installation, ensuring the breaker is tripped, and verifying nameplate compatibility. Magnetic trip settings are adjustable with a screwdriver, and a sealed cover prevents tampering. The device complies with UL 489, CE, CSA, and KEMA-KEUR standards.
Our Repair Process for the
140U-MTD3-D45
Our repair process for the Allen Bradley 140U-MTD3-D45 molded case circuit breaker begins with a thorough inspection to identify specific faults, including verification of overload settings, thermal magnetic trip unit functionality, and assessment of terminal corrosion. Terminals are cleaned and treated to remove corrosion and ensure optimal conductivity. Operating mechanisms are meticulously examined, and any failed or damaged components are replaced or repaired to guarantee proper breaker operation. Insulation resistance is rigorously tested, and if found to be deficient, the breaker undergoes comprehensive refurbishment to eliminate ground faults and restore circuit protection integrity. The breaker is then subjected to rigorous testing to confirm adherence to original performance specifications before being returned.
