Built for industrial power management, this 3-pole, 250A molded case circuit breaker belongs to the legacy K-Frame series. The unit mount breaker installs into Square D enclosures and switchboards. The PowerPacT J-Frame (JGL36250) serves as the modern substitute, requiring a separate interlock kit. Rated 42kAIC at 240VAC, it features an adjustable magnetic trip. The "WB" suffix indicates a walking beam interlock provision, allowing mechanical interlocking to prevent simultaneous operation.
What does the "WB" suffix indicate on the KAL36250WB?
The "WB" suffix signifies a factory-installed walking beam mechanical interlock. This mechanism is used in transfer and safety applications to interlock two breakers, ensuring only one can be closed at a time.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy KAL36250WB?
The KAL series is a legacy K-Frame breaker. The modern equivalent is the Square D PowerPact J-Frame series, such as the JDL36250 or JGL36250. To replicate the "WB" functionality, a separate walking beam interlock accessory must be configured for the new PowerPact breakers.
How is the walking beam interlock installed?
The walking beam interlock requires this breaker to be mounted adjacent to another compatible "WB" suffix breaker using a specific mounting pan. The mechanical linkage physically prevents both breakers from being in the ON position simultaneously.
Can the KAL36250WB be installed in an I-Line panelboard?
No, the KAL36250WB is a unit-mount, feed-thru breaker designed for standalone enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers. For an I-Line panelboard, you would need an I-Line plug-on breaker.
