Product FAQs
8 answers
What specific trip unit model is installed in the PGL36040U33A?
This breaker comes equipped with a Micrologic 5.0 electronic trip unit. In addition to adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) protection, it features true RMS sensing and Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) for advanced system coordination.
Can I swap the trip unit on the PGL36040U33A if my protection requirements change?
Yes, PowerPacT P-frame breakers feature interchangeable Micrologic trip units. You can upgrade or replace the trip unit in the field without needing to replace the entire breaker frame.
Is the PGL36040U33A rated for 100 percent continuous current?
No, this breaker is standard-rated to carry 80 percent of its continuous current rating.
Can I mount the PGL36040U33A directly to a backpan or enclosure?
Yes, this is a unit-mount breaker. It is designed to be bolted directly to a backpan or mounting plate in enclosures, switchboards, or motor control centers, and uses lug connections on both the line and load sides.
Does the PGL36040U33A support power metering and monitoring?
The standard Micrologic 5.0 trip unit included with this breaker does not feature advanced power metering. However, because the trip units are interchangeable, you can upgrade to a Micrologic A, P, or H trip unit if you require advanced metering or communication capabilities.
Does this breaker provide ground fault protection?
No, the Micrologic 5.0 trip unit provides LSI protection only. If you require equipment ground fault protection (LSIG), you will need a breaker equipped with a Micrologic 6.0 trip unit.
What are the physical dimensions of this P-frame circuit breaker?
The PGL36040U33A measures approximately 12.86 inches high, 8.27 inches wide, and 8.05 inches deep.
Is the PGL36040U33A suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment?
