Designed to handle 65 kAIC at 277VAC, this 50-amp molded case circuit breaker delivers essential long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. The FJA140503 is engineered with a factory-configured Phase B connection and mounts into Square D I-Line switchboards using a secure plug-on design. As part of the legacy F-Frame family, it provides high interrupting capacity for industrial applications. When replacing this unit, the HJA260503 serves as the substitute but requires two pole spaces.
Can I install the FJA140503 in a standard Square D NQ or NF panel?
No, this breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It utilizes a specialized plug-in mounting jaw that connects directly to the I-Line busbar system.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the FJA140503 lugs?
The factory-installed lugs accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG wire. Both copper and aluminum conductors are supported.
Is the FJA140503 suitable for direct current applications?
Yes, in addition to its 65kAIC rating at 240VAC and 277VAC, this breaker is DC-rated. It provides a 10kAIC interrupting capacity at 125VDC.
What is the recommended replacement for the legacy FJA140503?
When replacing this legacy 1-pole F-frame breaker, the PowerPact H-frame HJA260503 serves as the modern substitute. Because the HJA replacement is a 2-pole breaker, it will require two pole spaces in your I-Line panel.
How does the trip unit on the FJA140503 operate?
It features a fixed thermal magnetic trip mechanism. This provides dual protection, utilizing a thermal element for long-time overload conditions and a magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection.
