Product FAQs
6 answers
Is the Square D KCL34150-1021 still actively manufactured?
The KCL frame is a legacy molded case circuit breaker. It has been discontinued and replaced by the newer PowerPact J-Frame series. However, exact replacements like the KCL34150-1021 are still sourced to maintain existing panelboards without requiring a complete system upgrade.
What does the -1021 suffix indicate on this KCL breaker?
The -1021 suffix signifies that the circuit breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240V AC shunt trip. This accessory allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by applying voltage to the shunt trip coil.
What type of panels accept the KCL34150-1021?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for use in compatible Square D enclosures, switchboards, and traditional panelboards. It features a feed-thru connection with line and load side lugs, meaning it mounts directly rather than plugging into an I-Line busway.
What does the L in the KCL frame designation mean?
In Square D nomenclature, the L in KCL indicates that it is a unit-mount breaker with lugs on both the line and load sides. This distinguishes it from I-Line plug-in breakers, which feature a jaw connection on the line side for busway mounting.
What wire sizes are supported by the lugs on this 150A breaker?
The factory-installed line and load side lugs accept wire gauges from 4 AWG up to 350 kcmil. The terminals are rated for both aluminum and copper conductors.
How is the trip unit configured on the KCL34150-1021?
This thermal-magnetic breaker features a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection. The magnetic trip can be tuned to coordinate with other devices in your distribution system.
