Product FAQs
5 answersWhat equipment is the Square D PCF2536G compatible with?
The PCF2536G is a unit-mount, bolt-on P-frame circuit breaker designed for installation in Square D switchboards and motor control centers. Because of its 2500A frame size and bolt-on design, it is not intended for standard residential load centers or lighting panelboards.
How does the PCF2536G mount into an electrical enclosure?
This breaker utilizes a unit-mount, bolt-on connection. It secures directly to the bus structure or mounting pan inside compatible Square D switchboards and motor control centers, ensuring a rigid and reliable connection for high-amperage industrial applications.
What does the LIG trip function on the PCF2536G indicate?
The LIG designation means this thermal-magnetic breaker provides Long-Time (overload), Instantaneous (short-circuit), and Ground-Fault protection. The magnetic trip is adjustable, allowing electricians to coordinate the instantaneous and ground-fault response with other protective devices in the power distribution system.
Does the PCF2536G provide ground-fault equipment protection?
Yes, the G in its LIG trip function code indicates integrated ground-fault protection. This feature helps prevent equipment damage and enhances system safety by detecting and interrupting low-level leakage currents to ground before they can escalate into severe arcing faults.
Is the PCF2536G part of the PowerPacT breaker family?
Yes, the PCF2536G belongs to the Schneider Electric and Square D PowerPacT family of molded case circuit breakers. Specifically, it is built on the P-frame architecture, which is engineered for heavy-duty commercial and industrial applications requiring up to 2500 amps.
