Product FAQs
7 answersWhat type of panels or enclosures is the Square D HLP36100 compatible with?
The HLP36100 is a unit-mount PowerPacT H-Frame circuit breaker designed for use in Square D switchboards, motor control centers, and industrial enclosures. It is not compatible with I-Line panelboards.
What does the "L" in the HLP36100 catalog number indicate?
The "L" designates the interrupting rating tier for this PowerPacT H-Frame breaker. It provides a high interrupting capacity of 125kA at 240VAC, 100kA at 480VAC, and 50kA at 600VAC, making it suitable for systems with high available fault currents.
What is the termination configuration for the HLP36100?
The "P" in the HLP36100 catalog number indicates its specific termination style. It features terminal nuts on the ON (line) side and mechanical lugs on the OFF (load) side, designed for unit-mount applications.
What is the difference between the HLP36100 and the HLL36100?
The difference lies in the termination style. The HLP36100 features terminal nuts on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side, whereas the HLL36100 comes equipped with mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides.
What is the difference between the HLP36100 and the HLA36100?
The HLP36100 is a unit-mount circuit breaker, whereas the HLA36100 is the I-Line plug-in version of the same 100A, 3-pole breaker. If your panel requires a plug-on I-Line connection, you must use the HLA36100.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the HLP36100?
No, the HLP36100 features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. If you require adjustable trip settings, you will need a PowerPacT H-Frame breaker equipped with a MicroLogic electronic trip unit instead of a thermal-magnetic one.
Is the HLP36100 rated for 80% or 100% continuous current?
The HLP36100 is a standard-rated breaker, meaning it is rated for 80% continuous current. For continuous loads lasting three hours or more, the load must not exceed 80 Amps (80% of its 100A rating) per National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.
