Built for heavy-duty industrial applications, this 175A current-limiting MCCB restricts peak let-through current to safeguard critical electrical infrastructure. The unit-mount configuration integrates easily into Square D motor control centers, switchboards, and standalone enclosures, serving as an exact match for older K-frame installations. Featuring a thermal-magnetic trip with adjustable instantaneous settings, it handles up to 200 kAIC at 480VAC and is officially replaced by the JRL36175.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the standard lugs on the KIL36175?
The factory lugs accept 4 AWG through 350 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors.
Can the KIL36175 be applied in DC circuits?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, in addition to its standard 600VAC rating.
Where is the KIL36175 typically installed?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for installation in Square D enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers.
How is the trip curve adjusted on this breaker?
The KIL36175 features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection.
What makes the KIL frame different from standard K-frame breakers?
The KIL designation indicates it is a current-limiting molded case circuit breaker. It provides an exceptionally high interrupting rating of 200kA at 480VAC to protect downstream equipment from severe fault currents.
Is the KIL36175 part of a current production series?
No, the KIL frame is a legacy molded case circuit breaker. For new installations requiring similar specifications, Schneider Electric typically recommends the PowerPact J-frame series, though the KIL36175 remains available for direct replacements.
