The Square D HGL36100SA is a 3 Pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 100 Amps and a voltage rating of 600VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 65kAIC at 240VAC, 35kAIC at 480VAC. The HGL36100SA has a feed-thru connection type and includes long time and instantaneous trip functions.
What does the "SA" suffix indicate on the HGL36100SA circuit breaker?
The "SA" suffix means this breaker includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip accessory, allowing the breaker to be tripped remotely via a control signal.
How is the factory-installed shunt trip wired on the HGL36100SA?
The internal 120VAC shunt trip accessory comes pre-wired with copper control wire leads that exit the breaker housing. These leads must be connected to your external control circuit to enable remote tripping.
How is the Square D HGL36100SA mounted?
The "L" in the catalog number indicates this is a unit-mount circuit breaker. It features feed-thru lugs on both the line and load sides for panel or enclosure mounting, rather than plugging into an I-Line busway.
Can I use the HGL36100SA in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No, the HGL36100SA is a unit-mount breaker with feed-thru lugs on both ends, designed for individual enclosures or standard panels. For an I-Line panelboard, you need the HGA36100SA, which features plug-on jaws on the line side.
What is the interrupting capacity of the HGL36100SA at 600VAC?
While rated for 65kAIC at 240VAC and 35kAIC at 480VAC, this G-interrupting tier breaker provides an 18kAIC rating when applied at 600VAC.
Is the HGL36100SA rated for 100% continuous current?
No, this is a standard-rated circuit breaker. Per NEC guidelines, it should be applied continuously at no more than 80% of its 100A rating (80 amps) for continuous loads lasting three hours or more.
Does the HGL36100SA have adjustable trip settings?
No, this specific model features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. It provides a fixed 100A thermal overload threshold and a fixed instantaneous magnetic short-circuit trip threshold.
How can I test the mechanical operation of the HGL36100SA?
All PowerPacT circuit breakers feature an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. Pressing this button manually trips the breaker to verify the mechanical linkage is functioning properly before placing it into service.
