Built for commercial and industrial applications, the Square D HJL36060U31X is a 3-pole, 60A molded case circuit breaker from the PowerPacT H-Frame series. It provides robust power distribution with a 65kAIC rating at 480VAC. This breaker features a standard unit mount design, making it ideal for installation into industrial control panels, enclosures, and switchboards. The integrated Micrologic 3.2 trip unit delivers highly accurate long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection.
What does the U31X suffix indicate on the HJL36060U31X?
The U31X suffix specifies that the breaker is equipped with a Micrologic 3.2 electronic trip unit. This provides adjustable long-time and fixed instantaneous (LI) protection, offering more precise trip coordination than standard thermal-magnetic models.
Can the HJL36060U31X be installed in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No. This specific model is a unit-mount breaker, meaning it has feed-thru lugs on both the line and load sides. It is designed for industrial control panels, enclosures, and switchboards, rather than plug-on I-Line panelboards.
What are the wire gauge limits for the factory lugs on this 60A breaker?
The standard lugs on the HJL36060U31X accept aluminum or copper conductors ranging from 14 AWG up to 3/0 AWG. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation as outlined by Schneider Electric.
Is the HJL36060U31X a direct physical replacement for older PowerPacT H-frame breakers?
Yes, it shares the exact physical dimensions and mounting footprint as other unit-mount PowerPacT H-frame breakers. When upgrading from a thermal-magnetic model, verify that the Micrologic 3.2 electronic trip unit meets your specific coordination requirements.
Does the HJL36060U31X support internal field-installable accessories?
Yes, the PowerPacT H-frame design allows for field-installable internal accessories such as shunt trips, auxiliary switches, and undervoltage releases. These are mounted inside the accessory compartment behind the front cover.
Does the Micrologic 3.2 trip unit require an external power supply for basic protection?
No, the Micrologic 3.2 electronic trip unit is self-powered by the current flowing through the breaker. It does not require an external power source to perform its primary long-time and instantaneous tripping functions.

Great Customer Service
Working with Superbreakers the team is so helpful. They answer the phone and are very accommodating. We had an issue with the refurbished breaker not working out and they helped get a new one out right away.
