Product FAQs
5 answers
What does the -1212 suffix mean on the MHL36800-1212 catalog number?
The -1212 suffix indicates the breaker comes with a factory-installed 1A/1B auxiliary switch. This provides one normally open and one normally closed contact for remote status signaling.
Can the MHL36800-1212 replace older Square D breakers?
Yes, the MHL36800-1212 is a direct replacement for the discontinued Square D MJL36800 circuit breaker. It shares the same physical M-frame footprint and electrical ratings.
How is a unit-mount breaker like the MHL36800-1212 installed?
As a unit-mount, feed-thru breaker, it bolts directly to the backpan or mounting plate inside a switchboard or industrial enclosure. It does not plug onto a busbar like an I-Line panelboard breaker.
How do the trip adjustments work on the MHL36800-1212?
This breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit with LI functions. The thermal element for long-time overload protection is fixed at 800 amps, while the magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection is adjustable via a dial on the face of the breaker.
What safety and application standards does the MHL36800-1212 meet?
This breaker is UL 489 listed and CSA certified. It is also HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration motor loads.
