Product FAQs
6 answersWhat do the letters HGL mean in the HGL26040 part number?
The letter H represents the PowerPacT H-frame family. The G denotes the interrupting rating tier, delivering up to 65kA at 240VAC and 35kA at 480VAC. The L indicates that the breaker is unit-mounted with factory-installed lugs on both the line and load sides.
How does the unit mount design of the HGL26040 differ from other mounting styles?
A unit mount breaker is secured to a backpan or mounting plate with screws and wired directly to the feed-thru lugs. This differs from I-Line breakers, which plug directly into a specialized Square D busway system.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the HGL26040 lugs?
The standard factory lugs accommodate wire sizes ranging from 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG. You can safely use either aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu) conductors.
What types of enclosures and panels accept the HGL26040?
This breaker is designed for integration into industrial control panels, switchboards, motor control centers, and specific PowerPacT H-Frame enclosures.
Are field-installable accessories available for the HGL26040?
Yes, the PowerPacT H-frame design allows for field installation of internal accessories like auxiliary contacts, alarm switches, undervoltage releases, and shunt trips beneath the front cover.
What are the standard safety procedures for installing this molded case circuit breaker?
Always disconnect all power sources to the panel or switchboard before beginning work. Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off, and wear the required personal protective equipment (PPE) as outlined by NFPA 70E.
