Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the U44A suffix specify on the PGA36120U44A?
The U44A suffix identifies the factory-installed Micrologic 6.0 A (Ammeter) electronic trip unit. This provides fully adjustable LSIG (Long-time, Short-time, Instantaneous, and Ground-fault) protection parameters for precise system coordination.
Is the PGA36120U44A rated for 80% or 100% continuous current?
This specific catalog number is a standard 80% rated circuit breaker. In typical applications, the continuous load should not exceed 80% of its 1200A nominal rating.
How does this PowerPacT breaker mount into a panelboard?
The PGA36120U44A features a plug-in I-Line connection on the line side, allowing it to mount directly onto the bus of compatible Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. The load side utilizes standard mechanical lugs.
Can control accessories like a shunt trip be added to this P-frame breaker?
Yes, PowerPacT P-frame breakers support field-installable internal accessories. Devices like a shunt trip (MX) or undervoltage release (MN) can be wired and mounted into the designated accessory slots located near the breaker handle.
Does the PGA36120U44A provide ground-fault equipment protection?
Yes. The included Micrologic 6.0 A LSIG trip unit features integrated and adjustable ground-fault protection to help prevent equipment damage from ground-level faults, in addition to standard overcurrent protections.
What are the load-side wire size capacities for this 1200A breaker?
The factory-installed mechanical lugs on the load side will accept four 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper (Al/Cu) conductors per phase.
