Product FAQs
10 answers
What panels accept the HJA261501?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard load centers or NQ/NF panelboards.
Can this 2-pole breaker be installed in a 3-phase I-Line panel?
Yes. I-Line panelboards are typically 3-phase, and this 2-pole breaker is designed to plug onto two of the three phases on the bus stack.
What does the "1" at the end of the HJA261501 catalog number signify?
The "1" suffix indicates the specific phase connection for the I-Line bus. For this 2-pole breaker, it designates an AB phase connection.
What wire sizes are compatible with the lugs on this breaker?
The standard load-side lugs accept 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
How much mounting space does this breaker require in an I-Line panel?
This 2-pole H-Frame breaker requires 3 inches of mounting space on the I-Line bus, as each pole takes up 1.5 inches of width.
How does the HJA261501 mount into a panel?
It features an I-Line style plug-in connection. The line side uses plug-on jaws that attach directly to the panelboard bus, while the load side uses standard lug connections.
How does the trip unit on the HJA261501 operate?
It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal (Long-Time) protection for overloads and an adjustable magnetic (Instantaneous) trip for short circuits. The adjustable magnetic setting allows for better coordination with downstream devices.
Can the HJA261501 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in direct current systems up to 250VDC, where it provides an interrupting capacity of 20kAIC.
Is the HJA261501 suitable for use as a GFCI or AFCI device?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker. It does not provide ground fault (GFCI) or arc fault (AFCI) protection.
What frame family does the HJA261501 belong to?
It is part of the Square D PowerPacT H-Frame family. This frame size is commonly used in commercial and industrial applications requiring up to 150A of protection in a compact footprint.
