Product FAQs
8 answers
What does the -1027 suffix mean in the KAL361501027 catalog number?
The -1027 suffix indicates that this circuit breaker is equipped with a factory-installed 24 VDC shunt trip accessory.
What mounting style does the KAL361501027 use?
This is a unit-mount (feed-thru) circuit breaker. It is designed to be base-mounted in individual enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers, rather than plugging onto a busbar.
Can I use the KAL361501027 in an I-Line panelboard?
No, the KAL series is a unit-mount breaker with lugs on both ends. For an I-Line panelboard, you need a plug-on K-Frame breaker, which typically starts with the prefix KA rather than KAL.
Is the Square D KAL361501027 still in active production?
No, the KAL series is a legacy K-Frame circuit breaker and has been discontinued by the manufacturer. It is typically replaced by the PowerPact H or J-Frame series (such as the JGL or JJL series) depending on the specific application and enclosure requirements.
Can I field-install a shunt trip on a standard KAL36150 breaker?
No, for Square D K-Frame circuit breakers like the KAL series, accessories such as shunt trips and undervoltage releases must be factory-installed. The KAL361501027 already includes the 24 VDC shunt trip.
What wire sizes do the standard lugs on the KAL361501027 accept?
The standard AL250KA lugs on this 150A K-Frame breaker accept #4 AWG to 350 kcmil aluminum or copper wire.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the KAL361501027?
The thermal (overload) trip is fixed at 150A, but the magnetic (instantaneous short-circuit) trip is adjustable. The magnetic trip range for this 150A K-Frame breaker is 750A to 1500A.
Does the KAL361501027 feature a push-to-trip button?
Yes, like most Square D molded case circuit breakers, it includes a push-to-trip button. This allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism and ensure it is functioning safely.
