Built for industrial control panels and switchboards, the Square D HGL36150AASA is a 3-pole, 150A unit mount molded case circuit breaker. It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic settings for reliable LI protection. This PowerPacT H-Frame breaker replaces legacy KAL36150 models when equipped with its included accessories. Rated at 65kAIC at 240V, it features a factory-installed auxiliary switch (1A/1B) and a 120VAC shunt trip for remote operation.
What does the AASA suffix indicate on the HGL36150AASA breaker?
