Product FAQs

7 answers
What does the "U43A" in the PJL36120U43A catalog number represent?

The "U43A" designates the Micrologic 5.0 A (Ammeter) electronic trip unit. This field-replaceable unit provides adjustable LSI (Long-time, Short-time, and Instantaneous) protection and features an integrated LCD screen for real-time current monitoring.

What does the "J" in the PJL prefix indicate for this breaker?

In the PowerPacT P-Frame series, the "J" indicates the interrupting rating tier. For this 1200A breaker, it provides a maximum interrupting capacity of 100kA at 240VAC, 65kA at 480VAC, and 25kA at 600VAC.

What does the "L" in the PJL prefix stand for?

The "L" indicates that this is a unit-mount circuit breaker. It is designed to be individually mounted using its feed-thru lug connections rather than plugging directly into an I-Line busway.

Can the Square D PJL36120U43A be reverse fed?

Yes. According to Schneider Electric, all PowerPacT P-Frame circuit breakers, including those with Micrologic electronic trip units like the PJL36120U43A, are suitable for reverse-fed (backfed) applications.

What type of equipment is this 1200A breaker compatible with?

The PJL36120U43A is designed for use in Square D switchboards and motor control centers (MCCs) that accommodate unit-mount PowerPacT P-Frame breakers.

Can this PowerPacT P-Frame breaker replace older Square D 1200A frames?

Yes, the PowerPacT P-Frame is the modern replacement for legacy Square D 1200A breakers, such as the older N-Frame series. Upgrading from a legacy breaker to the PJL36120U43A may require specific mounting hardware or enclosure modifications.

What safety precautions are required before adjusting the Micrologic 5.0 A trip unit settings?

Always ensure the breaker is properly de-energized and follow standard lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures before removing the trip unit cover or adjusting the LSI dials. Only qualified electrical personnel should modify trip settings to ensure proper system coordination and arc flash safety.
