Product FAQs
7 answers
How much bus space does this H-frame breaker require in an I-Line panelboard?
This 3-pole H-frame breaker requires 4.5 inches of mounting space on the I-Line bus, which equates to 1.5 inches per pole.
What does the SA suffix indicate for this breaker's installation?
The SA suffix means the breaker comes factory-equipped with a 120VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely using a control voltage signal.
What does the YP suffix mean in the HGA36150SAYP catalog number?
The YP suffix indicates that the breaker includes a factory-installed handle padlock attachment. This accessory allows the breaker handle to be locked in either the ON or OFF position.
Can I supply power to the load terminals of this breaker?
Yes, this breaker is suitable for reverse-fed applications. It can be safely back-fed by connecting the incoming line power to the load lugs.
Can the trip unit on the HGA36150SAYP be swapped out or upgraded?
No, this breaker features a non-interchangeable, factory-sealed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip functions are fixed and cannot be modified.
What do the LI trip functions represent on this breaker?
The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The Long-Time function provides overload protection, while the Instantaneous function protects against short circuits. Both settings are fixed on this thermal-magnetic trip unit.
What size wire is compatible with the standard lugs on this 150A breaker?
The factory-installed mechanical lugs accept 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
