Belonging to the legacy K-Frame family, the Square D KAL362001046 delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection for industrial and marine environments. This 3-pole, 200A circuit breaker handles demanding electrical infrastructure. It installs into standard Square D enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers. While the original KAL series is discontinued, this unit serves as an exact replacement. This specific model features 400Hz calibration and a factory-installed shunt trip.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the 1046 suffix indicate on the KAL362001046?
The 1046 suffix designates a factory-installed undervoltage trip (UVR) accessory rated for 120-240VAC at 400 Hz. This is a specialized feature typically used in aviation, military, or high-frequency industrial power systems to automatically open the breaker if the control voltage drops.
Can I use standard 60 Hz control power for the undervoltage trip on this breaker?
No. The undervoltage trip coil on the KAL362001046 is specifically rated for 400 Hz. Applying standard 50 or 60 Hz control voltage to a 400 Hz coil will result in low inductive reactance, causing excessive current draw that can quickly burn out the accessory.
Can the KAL362001046 be installed in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No, this is a unit-mount circuit breaker. It is designed to be hard-wired and bolted into individual enclosures, switchboards, or motor control centers. It lacks the plug-on jaw connections required for I-Line distribution panels.
How is the trip curve adjusted on the KAL362001046?
This thermal-magnetic breaker features a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection at 200 amps. The magnetic instantaneous trip is adjustable, allowing electricians to fine-tune the short-circuit response to accommodate motor inrush currents or coordinate with downstream devices.
What type of conductors are compatible with the KAL362001046 terminals?
The factory-installed mechanical lugs are dual-rated for both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) wire. They accept conductor sizes ranging from 4 AWG up to 350 kcmil.
Is the KAL362001046 rated for use in DC power systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC. When applying molded case circuit breakers in DC circuits, ensure proper pole wiring configurations are followed as specified by the manufacturer.
