Delivering 65kAIC at 480V, this 60A PowerPacT B-Frame MCCB provides thermal-magnetic protection for commercial and industrial systems. The "LU" suffix indicates a factory-installed control wire terminal on the line side. Designed for unit mount applications, this three-pole breaker installs into control panels and switchboards. It serves as a modern replacement for discontinued FCL36060 and FHL36060 breakers. Patented EverLink lugs ensure a secure, creep-compensating connection.
What does the LU suffix indicate on the BJL36060LU circuit breaker?
The LU suffix specifies that the breaker includes EverLink lugs on both ends, with a built-in control wire terminal specifically located on the ON (line) end lug. This allows for easy integration of control circuits without modifying the primary power connections.
Do I need to purchase separate lugs to connect 3/0 AWG aluminum wire to the BJL36060LU?
No. The BJL36060LU comes standard with factory-installed EverLink lugs that accept both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG up to 3/0 AWG, so no additional terminal kits are required for standard wiring.
Can the BJL36060LU be installed in an I-Line panelboard?
No. The BJL36060LU is a unit-mount breaker designed for DIN rail or backpan installation in standard enclosures. For I-Line panelboards, you need an I-Line specific B-frame breaker, typically denoted by an A in the catalog number, such as BJA36060.
Does the BJL36060LU require a separate adapter for DIN rail mounting?
No. PowerPacT B-frame unit-mount circuit breakers feature integrated DIN rail mounting clips on the back of the breaker, allowing for direct installation onto standard 35mm DIN rails without requiring extra mounting plates or accessories.
Is the BJL36060LU rated for 100 percent continuous operation?
No. Like most standard PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers, the BJL36060LU is rated for 80 percent continuous current. Continuous loads should not exceed 48 amps (80 percent of its 60A nominal rating) to comply with standard NEC guidelines.
Can I adjust the Long-Time or Instantaneous trip thresholds on the BJL36060LU?
No. This breaker is equipped with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the Long-Time (thermal overload) and Instantaneous (magnetic short-circuit) protection thresholds are factory-calibrated and cannot be modified in the field.
What is the advantage of the EverLink lugs included on this breaker?
The factory-installed EverLink lugs feature a patented creep-compensating design. This maintains constant spring pressure on the conductor, preventing loose connections caused by temperature cycling and wire creep, which is especially beneficial when using aluminum wire.
Is the BJL36060LU suitable for direct current (DC) control panels?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is fully rated for DC applications up to 250VDC. It provides a 50kA interrupting capacity for DC systems, making it suitable for battery backups and DC control circuits.
