Product FAQs
7 answers
What do the letters FHP indicate in this Square D catalog number?
The F designates the legacy F-frame footprint. The H indicates a high interrupting rating compared to standard FA breakers. The P signifies that the breaker has lugs on the load (OFF) end only, with the line (ON) end designed to bolt directly to a bus pad.
Is the FHP36015 compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards?
No, this is a unit mount circuit breaker. It lacks the plug-on jaw construction required for installation in I-Line panelboards and is instead designed to bolt onto bus bars in motor control centers or switchboards.
Can the FHP36015 be used as a direct replacement for an FA36015?
While both are 15A F-frame breakers, they are not always interchangeable. The FHP has a higher interrupting capacity (25kAIC vs 10kAIC at 480V) and a different mounting configuration (bolt-on line side vs standard lugs on both ends). Verify your enclosure's mounting requirements and fault current ratings before substituting.
Is the FHP36015 still actively manufactured by Schneider Electric?
No, Schneider Electric discontinued this specific F-frame breaker in 2023. It is now a legacy component used primarily for maintaining existing motor control centers and switchboards.
What replacement lug kit is compatible with the 15A FHP breaker?
The AL30FD mechanical lug kit is the standard replacement for 15A to 30A Square D F-frame circuit breakers.
Can I field-install electrical accessories like a shunt trip or auxiliary switch on the FHP36015?
No, legacy Square D F-frame circuit breakers do not accept field-installed electrical accessories. Any internal accessories, such as shunt trips or auxiliary switches, must be factory installed.
What is the recommended safety procedure before installing or removing this bolt-on breaker?
Always de-energize the motor control center or switchboard before installation or removal. Verify the bus is completely powered down using a properly rated voltage detector, as the line side bolts directly to the live bus.
