The Square D HDA36100U43X is a 3 Pole solid state molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 100 Amps and a voltage rating of 600VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 25kAIC at 240VAC, 18kAIC at 480VAC. The HDA36100U43X has an I-Line style plug-in connection type and includes long time, short time and instantaneous trip functions.
What type of panelboard is the HDA36100U43X compatible with?
This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection, making it compatible with Square D I-Line power distribution panelboards and switchboards.
What does the U43X suffix indicate on this PowerPacT H-frame breaker?
The U43X suffix indicates the breaker is equipped with a Micrologic 5.2 A (Ammeter) electronic trip unit. It provides adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) protection settings along with integrated current monitoring.
How does the I-Line connection mount into the panel?
The I-Line design uses plug-on jaws on the line side that engage directly onto the panelboard bus stack, while the load side uses standard lugs for wire connections. This allows for fast, modular installation without additional mounting hardware.
Does the HDA36100U43X require joint compound for installation?
Yes, Square D I-Line circuit breakers are supplied with factory-applied joint compound on the plug-on connectors. This compound should not be removed. If the breaker is removed and reinstalled, joint compound, such as PJC7201, must be reapplied to ensure proper connection performance.
What specific protection functions does the LSI trip unit provide?
The LSI designation means the Micrologic trip unit allows you to adjust the Long-Time (overload), Short-Time (short circuit with intentional delay for selective coordination), and Instantaneous (immediate short circuit) trip settings to match your specific system requirements.
Can this breaker replace older thermal-magnetic I-Line breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT H-frame HDA36100U43X is the modern replacement for legacy Square D 100A 3-pole F-frame I-Line breakers, such as the FA or FH series. It occupies the same mounting space in I-Line panelboards while upgrading the system to solid-state electronic protection.
What phase connection does the HDA36100U43X use?
By default, a standard 3-pole I-Line breaker like this one uses an ABC phase connection, drawing power from all three phases of the panelboard bus.
