Product FAQs
7 answers
What do the suffixes in the KHL3615017DC1684 catalog number indicate?
The DC suffix designates its direct current rating, while the 17 and 1684 suffixes indicate factory-installed internal accessories. This specific model is equipped with a 24VDC undervoltage release (UVR) and an auxiliary switch for advanced control system integration.
What type of lugs are included with the KHL3615017DC1684, and what wire sizes do they accept?
This breaker includes AL250KA lugs on both the line and load sides. These lugs accept aluminum or copper wire ranging from 4 AWG to 350 kcmil.
Can the KHL3615017DC1684 be installed in an I-Line panelboard?
No, this is a feed-thru, unit-mount circuit breaker. It is designed to be bolted directly to the mounting pan or chassis in compatible Square D enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers, rather than plugging onto an I-Line bus.
How does the trip unit operate on this K-Frame breaker?
It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) functions. The thermal element provides fixed protection against overloads, while the magnetic element is adjustable to fine-tune short-circuit protection based on your specific load requirements.
How does the factory-installed undervoltage release enhance system safety?
The 24VDC undervoltage release automatically trips the breaker if the control voltage drops below a predetermined level. This prevents motors and other critical loads from restarting unexpectedly when power is restored, protecting both personnel and equipment.
Is the KHL3615017DC1684 strictly limited to DC applications?
Although it features a specialized 500VDC rating with a 20kAIC interrupting capacity, it is also fully rated for alternating current. It provides up to 65kAIC at 240VAC, 35kAIC at 480VAC, and 25kAIC at 600VAC.
Can I use this breaker to replace an older Square D K-Frame MCCB?
Yes, the KHL3615017DC1684 shares the same physical dimensions and mounting footprint as other legacy Square D K-Frame breakers. Verify that the 150A rating, feed-thru mounting, and internal accessories match your existing system requirements before installation.
