Designed for demanding industrial environments, the Square D LJL36250CU33X is a 3-pole, 250A molded case circuit breaker from the PowerPacT L-Frame series. This unit-mount breaker features feed-thru lugs on both the line and load sides, allowing it to install into compatible Square D switchboards, motor control centers, and enclosures. A key advantage of this model is its 100% continuous current rating. It is equipped with a MicroLogic 3.3S electronic trip unit for adjustable LSI protection.
What equipment is the LJL36250CU33X designed to be installed in?
This unit-mount breaker is compatible with Square D switchboards, motor control centers, and standalone enclosures. Because it uses a feed-thru lug configuration, it is not compatible with I-Line plug-on panelboards.
What does the C in the LJL36250CU33X catalog number signify?
The C indicates that this breaker is 100 percent rated. It can carry its full 250A continuous current rating without the standard 80 percent derating, provided it is installed in a properly sized enclosure with appropriately rated conductors.
What are the wire size requirements for the standard lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed line and load lugs accept one 2 AWG to 600 kcmil copper wire, or one 2 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum wire per phase.
What protective functions does the U33X trip unit provide?
The U33X suffix designates a Micrologic 3.3S electronic trip unit. This provides field-adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) settings for precise selective coordination in commercial and industrial systems.
Can the LJL36250CU33X replace a standard 80 percent rated breaker?
Yes, a 100 percent rated breaker like the LJL36250CU33X can safely replace an equivalent 80 percent rated 250A L-Frame unit-mount breaker, offering the same or greater continuous current capabilities.
How is the LJL36250CU33X mounted in an enclosure?
This is a feed-thru, unit-mount breaker that secures directly to the backpan or mounting surface using standard hardware. Wire connections are made directly to the provided line and load lugs.
