Product FAQs
7 answers
What type of panelboards is the HGA36150U31X compatible with?
This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection, making it compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is not designed for standard load centers or NQ/NF panelboards.
What does the "U31X" suffix mean in the HGA36150U31X catalog number?
The "U31X" indicates that this PowerPacT H-frame breaker is equipped with a Micrologic 3.2 electronic trip unit. This provides standard LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) protection functions.
What do the letters "HGA" indicate in the HGA36150U31X part number?
"H" denotes the PowerPacT H-frame family. "G" indicates the interrupting rating tier (up to 65kA at 240V). "A" specifies the I-Line style plug-in mounting configuration.
How does the I-Line connection on the HGA36150U31X mount to the panelboard?
The breaker utilizes a plug-on design where the line-side jaws engage directly with the I-Line bus stack. It is then secured to the panelboard backpan using a mounting bracket, allowing for rapid installation without bolted line connections.
Can the HGA36150U31X replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT H-frame HGA36150U31X is a direct physical replacement for legacy Square D KA and KH frame I-Line breakers of the same amperage and pole configuration, such as the KA36150.
Does the Micrologic 3.2 trip unit on the HGA36150U31X require an external power supply?
No, the Micrologic 3.2 electronic trip unit is self-powered by the current flowing through the circuit breaker. It does not require an external power source for its standard protection functions.
Can I use the HGA36150U31X for applications requiring ground fault protection?
No, the U31X suffix indicates a Micrologic 3.2 trip unit, which only provides Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection. For Ground Fault (LSIG) protection, a breaker with a Micrologic 6.2 trip unit (such as a U54X suffix) is required.
