Engineered for commercial and industrial power distribution, this 80A F-frame breaker provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection. The unit features a factory-installed 120-240VAC shunt trip mechanism for remote tripping capabilities. Designed to mount into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, it utilizes a secure bolt-on connection. This legacy component is officially replaced by the HGA36080SA in modern applications. Delivering 25kAIC at 480VAC, it handles demanding loads.
What does the -1021 suffix mean on the FHB36080-1021 circuit breaker?
The -1021 suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip accessory, allowing for remote tripping of the breaker.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FHB36080-1021?
This F-frame breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection and is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the FHB36080-1021?
When installing the FHB36080-1021, the standard lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Can the FHB36080-1021 be used in DC applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is suitable for DC applications up to 250VDC, providing a 10kA interrupting rating for those systems.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the FHB36080-1021?
No, this breaker features fixed thermal (long-time) and fixed magnetic (instantaneous) trip functions, meaning the trip curve is factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Can the FHB36080-1021 replace older F-frame I-Line breakers?
Yes, as an F-frame I-Line breaker, it can replace older FA or FH I-Line breakers of the same amperage and pole configuration, provided the interrupting rating meets or exceeds your system requirements.
How does the shunt trip enhance safety on the FHB36080-1021?
The factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip allows the breaker to be tripped remotely. This is often used in emergency shutdown systems or interlocked with fire alarms to safely disconnect power during an emergency.
