Engineered for commercial power distribution, the FAP36060 is a 3-pole, 60A molded case circuit breaker. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) thermal-magnetic protection. This bolt-on breaker installs into Square D motor control centers, enclosures, and switchboards. It serves as a replacement for older FAL36060 units and is superseded by the PowerPacT H-Frame (HJL36060). Rated for 18 kAIC at 480VAC, it features a Visi-Trip indicator and is HACR rated.
What types of equipment is the FAP36060 designed to be installed in?
This F-Frame breaker is designed for unit-mount, bolt-on installation in Square D motor control centers, switchboards, and individual enclosures.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the lugs on the FAP36060?
The factory lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper (Cu) wire or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum (Al) wire.
Can this F-Frame breaker be used in DC applications?
Yes, it is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, providing a 10kA interrupting capacity at that voltage.
Does this breaker support adjustable trip settings?
No, this thermal magnetic breaker features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip elements. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous protection without adjustable dials.
Is the FAP36060 part of a current or legacy product line?
The FAP series is classified as a legacy molded case circuit breaker. It is primarily sourced for direct replacements in existing Square D switchboards, enclosures, and motor control centers rather than for new construction.
What precautions should be taken before installing this bolt-on breaker in a motor control center?
Ensure all upstream power is completely de-energized and locked out. Verify that the busbar spacing and mounting hardware match the F-Frame bolt-on configuration before torquing the connections to the manufacturer specifications.
