Providing reliable thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection, the KAL36225-1380 is a 3-pole, 225A circuit breaker from Square D. This legacy K-Frame breaker mounts into Square D enclosures and switchboards. Facilities looking to upgrade can replace it with the PowerPact J-Frame JDL36225SAAA. The "-1380" suffix indicates a specialized configuration, adding a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip and auxiliary switch for remote tripping and circuit monitoring.

Product FAQs
7 answers
What accessories are included with the -1380 suffix on this breaker?
The -1380 catalog suffix indicates that the breaker comes with a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip for remote tripping, as well as a 1A/1B auxiliary switch (one normally open, one normally closed contact) for remote status monitoring.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy KAL36225-1380?
The KAL series is a legacy K-Frame breaker. Its modern functional equivalent is the Square D PowerPact J-Frame series, such as the JGL36225 or JDL36225. When upgrading, you will also need to specify the equivalent 120VAC shunt trip and auxiliary switch accessories for the PowerPact platform.
Can I install the KAL36225-1380 in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No. The KAL36225-1380 is a unit-mount (feed-thru) circuit breaker designed for individual enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers. For an I-Line panelboard, you would need the plug-on equivalent, such as the KA36225-1380.
What does the LI trip function code mean on this breaker?
The LI designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (L) overload protection and Instantaneous (I) short-circuit protection. On the KAL36225-1380, the thermal element is fixed, while the magnetic trip threshold is adjustable.
What voltage is required to operate the shunt trip on the KAL36225-1380?
The -1380 suffix includes a shunt trip coil rated for 120VAC. You must provide a 120V control power source to remotely trip the breaker.
How is the auxiliary switch configured on the KAL36225-1380?
The factory-installed auxiliary switch provides a 1A/1B contact configuration (one normally open and one normally closed contact) for remote status signaling and circuit monitoring.
Is the KAL36225-1380 suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific designation.
