Serving commercial and industrial applications, this 3-pole, 250A molded case circuit breaker belongs to the legacy K-Frame lineup. The unit mount MCCB installs into Square D QED switchboards and motor control centers. For modern upgrades, it is replaced by the PowerPacT J-Frame (JGL36250). Rated 42kAIC at 240VAC, it features an adjustable magnetic trip. The "1380" suffix denotes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip and 1A1B auxiliary switch for remote operation.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the 1380 suffix indicate on the KAL362501380?
The 1380 catalog suffix denotes that this breaker comes with a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip and a 1A/1B auxiliary switch for remote tripping and status signaling.
What equipment is compatible with the KAL362501380 breaker?
This legacy K-frame breaker is designed for unit-mount installations in Square D QED switchboards, motor control centers, and compatible standalone enclosures.
What is the difference between the KAL362501380 and a KA36250 breaker?
The KAL series is a unit-mount breaker with feed-thru lugs on both the line and load sides. The KA series is the I-Line version, which features plug-on jaws on the line side for mounting directly to an I-Line busbar.
Is the Square D KAL362501380 still actively manufactured?
The KAL series is a legacy K-frame molded case circuit breaker. While it has been superseded by newer PowerPact series breakers in modern installations, KAL breakers are still widely sourced for replacing existing units in older QED switchboards and motor control centers without requiring panel modifications.
How is the KAL362501380 mounted in a panel?
It is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker, meaning it bolts directly to the mounting pan or enclosure backplate rather than plugging onto a busbar.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the KAL362501380?
The thermal element for long-time overload protection is fixed, but the magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection is adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune the trip response for your specific load.
