Built around the robust PowerPacT H-Frame architecture, this 100A molded case circuit breaker utilizes a Micrologic 3.2S electronic trip unit. It delivers highly configurable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous (LSI) settings for superior system coordination in demanding industrial environments. The unit mount configuration integrates easily into motor control centers, switchboards, and standard enclosures. It features true RMS sensing and a 65kAIC interrupting capacity at 480VAC.
What does the "U33X" in the HJL36100U33X catalog number indicate?
The "U33X" suffix designates that the breaker is equipped with a Micrologic 3.2 S electronic trip unit, which provides adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) protection functions.
What does the "J" in the HJL36100U33X catalog number stand for?
The "J" indicates the breaker's high interrupting rating tier within the PowerPacT series, providing up to 100kA at 240V, 65kA at 480V, and 25kA at 600V.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the HJL36100U33X?
Yes. Because it features a Micrologic 3.2 S electronic trip unit, you can adjust the Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) pickup and delay settings to coordinate with your specific system requirements.
What are the advantages of the Micrologic 3.2 S electronic trip unit over a standard thermal-magnetic breaker?
The Micrologic 3.2 S trip unit provides precise, highly configurable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) protection curves. This allows for far greater control and superior system coordination in complex distribution systems compared to fixed thermal-magnetic breakers.
What types of equipment is the HJL36100U33X compatible with?
This unit-mount H-Frame breaker is designed for use in industrial control panels, switchboards, motor control centers, and PowerPacT H-Frame enclosures.
Can this 3-pole breaker be used in a 2-pole application?
Yes, the HJL36100U33X can be applied in 2-pole configurations, offering added versatility for various industrial power distribution setups.
What wire sizes are accepted by the standard lugs on the HJL36100U33X?
The standard lugs accept 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG wire, and are rated for both aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) conductors.
Can the HJL36100U33X be reverse fed?
Yes. This PowerPacT H-Frame circuit breaker is suitable for reverse-fed (back-fed) applications, allowing the load side to be used as the line side if required by your panel design.
Is there a way to manually test the tripping mechanism on the HJL36100U33X?
Yes, all PowerPacT circuit breakers feature an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover, allowing you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation.

Great Customer Service
Working with Superbreakers the team is so helpful. They answer the phone and are very accommodating. We had an issue with the refurbished breaker not working out and they helped get a new one out right away.
