The Square D HGP36030 is a 3 Pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 30 Amps and a voltage rating of 600VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 65kAIC at 240VAC, 35kAIC at 480VAC. The HGP36030 has a unit mounting type and includes long time and instantaneous trip functions.
What type of mounting does the Square D HGP36030 use?
The HGP36030 is a unit-mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It is designed to be mounted directly to a panel or backpan using screws or bolts, rather than plugging into an I-Line bus.
Are the lugs included with the HGP36030?
Yes, this unit-mount circuit breaker comes factory-equipped with mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides.
Which enclosures are compatible with the HGP36030 circuit breaker?
This H-frame breaker can be installed in Square D PowerPacT H-frame and J-frame circuit breaker enclosures, provided the enclosure is configured for unit-mount breakers.
What type of trip unit is installed in the HGP36030?
It features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit that provides both long-time overload protection and instantaneous short-circuit protection.
Can the HGP36030 replace older Square D F-frame circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT H-frame series is the modern replacement for legacy Square D F-frame breakers. The HGP36030 specifically replaces older 30A, 3-pole high-interrupting models like the FHL36030, though mounting dimensions and hardware differ.
Is the Square D HGP36030 suitable for reverse feeding?
Yes, standard PowerPacT H-frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers without ground fault or earth leakage modules can typically be reverse fed. Always verify your specific application against local electrical codes.
Can the HGP36030 be used in 240V or 480V systems?
Yes, while it has a maximum voltage rating of 600V AC, it is fully compatible with lower voltage systems, including 240V and 480V AC applications.
Can I add accessories like a shunt trip or auxiliary switch to the HGP36030?
Yes, the PowerPacT H-frame series supports a variety of field-installable internal accessories, including shunt trips, undervoltage releases, and auxiliary switches. These are installed behind the front cover.
