Operating at 150 amps, this legacy electronic trip breaker utilizes True RMS sensing to deliver reliable LSI protection for heavy commercial facilities. The unit mounts into standard Square D I-Line switchboards via its integrated jaw mechanism. Facilities migrating to newer platforms can use PowerPacT L-Frame replacements. Capable of interrupting 65kA at 480VAC, the solid-state Micrologic unit allows precise adjustments for long-time, short-time, and instantaneous trip curves.
What panelboards accept the LX36150 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It utilizes the proprietary I-Line plug-on connection to mount directly to the bus stack.
How does the I-Line line-side connection function under fault conditions?
The LX36150 utilizes a blow-on jaw design. During a high-level short circuit, the magnetic forces generated draw the connector jaws together, gripping the I-Line bus bar more firmly to maintain a secure connection.
What adjustments are available on the LSI electronic trip unit?
The Micrologic LSI trip unit allows you to customize the Long-Time (L) setting for overload protection, the Short-Time (S) setting for short-circuit coordination, and the Instantaneous (I) setting for immediate fault clearing.
Is the LX36150 a current production model?
The LX frame is a legacy molded case circuit breaker. When replacing this unit in modern facilities, panel builders often upgrade to the newer Square D PowerPacT L-Frame series, which may require an I-Line filler plate.
What are the acceptable wire sizes for the load-side lugs?
The standard mechanical lugs accept either a single 1 AWG to 600 kcmil conductor or two 1 AWG to 250 kcmil conductors. The terminals are rated for both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) wire.
Are fasteners required to secure the line-side bus connection?
No. The I-Line plug-on jaws connect to the bus bar without fasteners, reducing installation time. You only need a screwdriver to secure the mechanical mounting bracket to the panel interior.
How can I verify the mechanical tripping mechanism is operational?
The breaker features a push-to-trip button on the front cover. Pressing this button manually exercises the tripping mechanism, allowing you to confirm mechanical operation and test auxiliary devices without applying a fault current.
What are the interrupting ratings across different voltage levels?
The LX36150 provides a 100kAIC rating at 240VAC, a 65kAIC rating at 480VAC, and a 35kAIC rating at 600VAC, making it suitable for high-fault commercial and industrial distribution systems.
