Description

Operating at up to 600VAC, the Square D FHP36060 is a 60-amp, three-pole molded case circuit breaker built for demanding industrial environments. It provides fixed thermal-magnetic protection with long-time and instantaneous trip capabilities. This unit bolts into Square D motor control centers and switchboards for secure power distribution. When upgrading legacy systems, the modern PowerPact HGL36060 serves as its replacement. The HACR-rated breaker delivers 65kAIC at 240V.

Product FAQs

8 answers
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FHP36060 circuit breaker?

The FHP36060 is a legacy F-frame breaker. For modern upgrades, the Square D PowerPact H-frame series, specifically the HGL36060, serves as the direct replacement with equivalent ratings.

What is the difference between Square D FHP and FAL circuit breakers?

Both belong to the legacy Square D F-frame family. The FHP series is the high-interrupting version, offering higher fault current ratings than the standard FAL series.

What enclosures or panelboards are compatible with the FHP36060?

This is a unit-mount, bolt-on breaker designed primarily for Square D Motor Control Centers (MCCs), switchboards, and individual enclosures. It is not compatible with I-Line panelboards, which require plug-on brackets.

What is the recommended lug torque for the FHP36060?

When equipped with the standard AL100FA mechanical lug kit, the recommended tightening torque is 50 lb-in (5.6 N.m) for 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.

Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on the FHP36060?

No, both the long-time (thermal) and instantaneous (magnetic) trip functions are fixed on this model. If adjustable trip settings are required, you must upgrade to a breaker with an electronic trip unit, such as a Micrologic PowerPact model.

Is the FHP36060 suitable for direct current (DC) systems?

Yes, it is rated for up to 250VDC applications. When installing in a DC system, electricians must follow Square D wiring guidelines for multi-pole breakers, which typically require wiring poles in series to safely interrupt DC arcs.

Does the FHP36060 provide equipment ground fault protection?

No, this breaker features standard thermal-magnetic trip units for overload and short-circuit protection only. It does not include integrated ground fault (GFPE) or arc fault protection.

Can the FHP36060 be mounted on a standard DIN rail?

No, this F-frame breaker requires a bolt-on, feed-thru mounting configuration. It is too large for DIN rail applications and must be secured to a backpan or switchboard chassis.
