Product FAQs
7 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the JDP36175?
This unit mount breaker is designed for bolt-on installation in Square D NF panelboards, switchboards, and industrial control panels. It is not compatible with I-Line panelboards, which require plug-on branch breakers like the JDA36175.
What does the D in the JDP36175 part number indicate?
The D designates the interrupt rating tier within the PowerPacT J-Frame family. It indicates a breaking capacity of 14 kA at 600V AC, 18 kA at 480V AC, and 25 kA at 240V AC.
Can the JDP36175 be reverse fed for backfeed applications?
Yes. Standard thermal magnetic PowerPacT J-Frame breakers like the JDP36175 can be reverse fed. However, breakers with field-interchangeable trip units or specific electronic trip units may have restrictions, so always verify your specific configuration and ensure proper labeling per NEC guidelines.
What is the magnetic trip adjustment range for this 175A breaker?
The JDP36175 features an adjustable magnetic trip setting that ranges from 875 A on the low end to 1750 A on the high end. The thermal protection is fixed at 175 A.
What is the difference between the JDP36175 and the JGL36175?
Both are 175A, 3-pole, unit mount J-Frame breakers, but they have different interrupt ratings. The JDP has a D rating (14 kA at 600V AC), while the JGL features a G rating (18 kA at 600V AC).
Can I use the JDP36175 to replace an older JD36175?
Yes. The PowerPacT JDP36175 serves as a direct drop-in replacement for legacy Square D JD36175 breakers, sharing the same physical footprint and unit mount configuration.
Does this breaker include a push-to-trip feature for testing?
Yes, PowerPacT J-Frame breakers feature an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism.
