Description
Part of the legacy F-Frame series, this 45A molded case circuit breaker provides dedicated ground fault equipment protection for industrial systems. The unit features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with long-time, instantaneous, and ground fault functions. It installs into Square D I-Line panelboards. For facility upgrades, this model is replaced by the HRA36045, requiring verification of ground fault needs before swapping. Rated 200 kAIC at 480VAC, it includes a Visi-Trip indicator.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhat equipment is compatible with the IF36045G?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It cannot be used in standard load centers or NQ/NF panelboards.
What does the G suffix indicate on the IF36045G catalog number?
The G suffix designates that the breaker includes factory-installed Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP). This provides equipment-level ground fault sensing, which operates at a higher milliamp threshold than Class A personnel GFCI protection.
Is the IF36045G suitable for high fault current applications?
Yes. It is a current-limiting breaker with a high interrupting capacity of 200kA at 480VAC and 100kA at 600VAC. This allows it to be installed in commercial and industrial systems with significant available fault current.
What are the load lug specifications for the IF36045G?
The load-side mechanical lugs accept wire sizes from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG. Electricians should size the conductors based on the 45A continuous rating and standard 75C terminal temperature limits.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy IF36045G?
The legacy I-Line F-frame series is typically replaced by the PowerPact H-frame series. The HRA36045 is the direct equivalent for the base breaker, but you must verify your ground fault protection requirements before swapping, as the standard HRA model does not include the GFEP module.
How is the IF36045G installed into an I-Line panel?
The breaker uses a plug-on I-Line connection. The line side features jaws that press directly onto the panelboard bus stack, secured by a mounting bracket and screw, while the load side uses standard mechanical lugs.
How does the LIG trip function operate on this breaker?
The LIG designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time protection for standard overloads, Instantaneous protection for short circuits, and Ground-Fault protection to prevent equipment damage from leakage currents.
