Product FAQs

6 answers
What equipment is the PGP36100U31A circuit breaker designed to be installed in?

This unit-mount P-Frame breaker is compatible with Square D QED Switchboards, Model 6 Motor Control Centers, and as a main breaker in I-Line Panelboards.

Is the PGP36100U31A rated for 100 percent continuous current?

No, this breaker is standard-rated. It is designed to carry 80 percent of its 1000A maximum rating for continuous loads lasting three hours or more.

What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the PGP36100U31A?

The factory-installed lugs accept four 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors per phase.

Does this breaker mount directly onto an I-Line busway?

No, the PGP36100U31A is a unit-mount, feed-thru breaker. While it can be used as a main breaker in I-Line panelboards, it does not feature the plug-on jaw connections required for I-Line branch mounting.

What does the U31A suffix in the PGP36100U31A catalog number signify?

The U31A suffix indicates the breaker is equipped with a Micrologic 3.0 standard electronic trip unit, providing adjustable Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection without ground fault capabilities.

Can the trip settings on the PGP36100U31A be adjusted in the field?

Yes, the Micrologic 3.0 electronic trip unit features adjustable dials for both the long-time pickup and instantaneous pickup. This allows electricians to coordinate the breaker with downstream loads and arc flash studies.
