The Square D FHL3600712M is a 3 Pole magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 7 Amps and a voltage rating of 600V. It has an interrupting rating of 25kAIC at 480V. The FHL3600712M has a feed-thru connection type and includes instantaneous trip functions.
What does the 12M suffix indicate on the FHL3600712M?
The 12M suffix identifies this as a Mag-Gard Motor Circuit Protector (MCP). It features an adjustable instantaneous magnetic trip range of 18-70A, designed specifically to provide short-circuit protection for motor branch circuits without nuisance tripping during high inrush currents.
Does the FHL3600712M provide thermal overload protection?
No. This is a magnetic-only circuit breaker. It provides instantaneous short-circuit protection but does not include a thermal element for overload protection. It must be used in conjunction with a separate motor starter or overload relay to provide complete motor protection.
What frame size is the Square D FHL3600712M?
The FHL3600712M is built on the Square D 100A F-frame. While the frame itself is rated for up to 100 amps, this specific motor circuit protector has a continuous current rating of 7 amps.
What is the difference between the FHL3600712M and the FAL3600712M?
Both are 7-amp, 3-pole Mag-Gard motor circuit protectors with an 18-70A adjustable magnetic trip. The difference is the interrupting capacity. The FHL series has a high interrupting rating of 25kAIC at 480V, whereas the FAL series has a standard interrupting rating of 18kAIC at 480V.
How is the FHL3600712M mounted and connected?
The FHL3600712M is a unit-mount breaker with a feed-thru connection type. It comes standard with mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides for direct wire termination.
Can I use the FHL3600712M as a standard branch circuit breaker?
No. Because it is a magnetic-only motor circuit protector, it lacks the thermal overload protection required for standard branch circuits. It is strictly intended for use in motor control centers and combination motor starters.
What does the FHL prefix indicate on this Square D breaker?
In Square D nomenclature, the F indicates the 100A F-frame, the H indicates a high interrupting capacity, and the L indicates that the breaker is equipped with mechanical lugs on both the line and load ends.
