Engineered for industrial facilities, the Square D KAL36125-1021 is a 3-pole, 125A molded case circuit breaker. This unit-mount device installs into Square D switchboards and motor control centers. As a legacy K-Frame model, it is replaced by PowerPact H-Frame breakers like the HGL36125. Rated 25kAIC at 480VAC, it features a factory-installed 120-240VAC shunt trip for remote disconnects. It also includes adjustable magnetic trip settings and Visi-Trip indication.
What does the -1021 suffix indicate on the KAL361251021 circuit breaker?
The -1021 suffix designates that this breaker is equipped with a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip, allowing for remote circuit interruption.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy KAL361251021?
This legacy K-Frame breaker is functionally succeeded by the modern Square D PowerPact H-Frame series. The equivalent replacement is the HGL36125SA, which includes a matching 120VAC shunt trip. Upgrading to the PowerPact series may require mounting adaptations depending on your existing enclosure.
How is the KAL361251021 mounted within an electrical system?
This is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It bolts directly to an enclosure backpan or mounting plate and utilizes wire lugs on both the line and load sides, rather than plugging into a busbar.
How does the trip unit operate on the KAL361251021?
It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) functions. The thermal overload protection is fixed, while the magnetic short-circuit response is adjustable to coordinate with other devices in your system.
Is the KAL361251021 rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, providing a 10kA interrupting capacity for industrial DC applications.
What equipment is compatible with this K-Frame breaker?
The KAL361251021 is designed for installation in compatible Square D enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers that accept legacy unit-mount K-Frame breakers.
What are the wire size requirements for the KAL361251021 terminals?
The factory-installed lugs accept wire sizes ranging from 4 AWG to 350 kcmil. The terminals are dual-rated for both aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) conductors, making them suitable for a variety of field wiring applications.
