Product FAQs
8 answersWhat does the K in the PKL36060 catalog number signify?
The K indicates the interrupting rating tier for this PowerPacT P-frame breaker. It provides a short circuit breaking capacity of 65kA at 240VAC and 50kA at 480VAC and 600VAC.
What does the L in the PKL36060 catalog number indicate about its mounting?
The L indicates that this is a unit-mount circuit breaker equipped with lugs on both the line and load sides, designed for feed-thru connections rather than I-Line busbar mounting.
What type of equipment is compatible with the PKL36060?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for integration into Square D QED switchboards, Model 6 motor control centers, and individual P-frame enclosures.
What wire sizes are accepted by the standard lugs on the PKL36060?
The standard factory lugs accept three 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors per phase.
How is the trip unit adjusted on the PKL36060?
The electronic trip unit features dials on the front of the breaker. This allows authorized personnel to adjust the instantaneous magnetic trip settings directly without requiring external software.
Can the PKL36060 circuit breaker be reverse fed?
Yes, standard PowerPacT P-frame circuit breakers with basic electronic trip units can be reverse fed. Always verify that no advanced communication modules or ground-fault trip units are installed, as these can restrict reverse feeding.
Does the PowerPacT P-frame replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT P-frame is the modern replacement for legacy Square D M-frame and older P-frame molded case circuit breakers. It offers upgraded electronic trip capabilities while maintaining a similar footprint.
What visual indication does the PKL36060 provide when a fault occurs?
The breaker handle features an over-center toggle mechanism with three distinct positions: ON, OFF, and tripped. The center tripped position provides clear visual confirmation that the breaker has opened due to an overcurrent or short-circuit fault.
