Product FAQs
7 answers
What trip unit is included with the PJP36120U31A?
It includes a MicroLogic 3.0 electronic trip unit, indicated by the U31A suffix, which provides adjustable long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection.
Which switchboards and motor control centers are compatible with this breaker?
It is compatible with Square D QED Switchboards and Model 6 Motor Control Centers.
What is the acceptable wire range for the lugs on this 1200A breaker?
The lugs accept four 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors per phase.
Can the PJP36120U31A be reverse fed?
Yes, standard unit mount PowerPacT P-frame breakers can be reverse fed. However, because it uses a MicroLogic electronic trip unit, the Reverse Power Flow protection setting must be disabled via the trip unit interface before energizing to prevent nuisance tripping.
What does the J in the PJP36120U31A catalog number signify?
The J indicates the interrupting rating tier: 100kA at 240VAC, 65kA at 480VAC, and 25kA at 600VAC.
Is the PJP36120U31A rated for 80 percent or 100 percent continuous current?
This breaker has a standard 80 percent continuous current rating. Square D models with a 100 percent rating include a C in the catalog number, such as PJP36120CU31A.
Does this breaker provide ground-fault protection?
No, the MicroLogic 3.0 trip unit provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection only. Applications requiring equipment ground-fault protection need a breaker with a MicroLogic 6.0 (LSIG) trip unit.
