Providing reliable thermal-magnetic protection, the Square D FHL36050-1212 is a 3-pole, 50A molded case circuit breaker for commercial and industrial facilities. It delivers consistent performance across demanding power distribution networks. This unit-mount breaker installs into Square D enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers. For modern system upgrades, it is replaced by the HGL36050AA when used with a retrofit kit.
What does the "-1212" suffix indicate on the FHL36050-1212?
The "-1212" suffix designates a factory-installed 1A/1B (one normally open, one normally closed) auxiliary switch, which provides remote status signaling for the breaker.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FHL36050-1212?
For modern system upgrades, this legacy F-Frame breaker is typically replaced by a PowerPact H-Frame breaker, such as the HGL36050, which requires a retrofit kit for installation in older equipment.
What equipment is compatible with the FHL36050-1212?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for installation in standard Square D enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers.
What wire sizes are supported by the lugs on the FHL36050-1212?
The standard lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper conductors or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum conductors.
