Product FAQs
10 answers
Does the PowerPacT BJL36100 replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series is the designated replacement for legacy Square D F-frame circuit breakers, including the FAL36100. It offers an upgraded design with a smaller footprint while maintaining compatibility for unit mount applications.
What type of mounting does the BJL36100 require?
The BJL36100 is a unit mount circuit breaker. It is designed for traditional back-pan mounting using screws or can be mounted on a standard 35mm DIN rail. It is not compatible with I-Line panelboards.
Can I use this breaker in an I-Line panelboard?
No, the BJL36100 features a unit mount design with lugs on both the line and load sides. For I-Line panelboard installations, you will need a B-frame breaker with an I-Line plug-on jaw, such as the BJA or BDA series.
What are the torque specifications for the lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed EverLink lugs require a tightening torque of 44.25 lb-in (5 N.m) for 14 to 4 AWG wire, and 79.66 lb-in (9 N.m) for 3 to 3/0 AWG wire.
Can the BJL36100 be reverse fed?
Yes, standard unit-mount PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers have sealed trip units and are suitable for reverse feeding. They can be supplied from either the top or the bottom without any reduction in performance.
What does the 'J' in the BJL36100 catalog number indicate?
In the PowerPacT B-frame nomenclature, the 'J' designates the interrupting capacity rating. For this breaker, it indicates a breaking capacity of 65kA at 480VAC and 100kA at 240VAC.
What type of lugs are included with the BJL36100?
This breaker comes standard with EverLink creep-compensating lugs on both the line and load sides. These patented lugs are designed to maintain constant contact pressure on the wire, reducing the risk of loosening over time, even with fine stranded conductors.
Is this circuit breaker rated for use in DC applications?
Yes, the BJL36100 is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, providing a 50kA interrupting rating for direct current applications.
Does this breaker support field-installable accessories?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame supports a wide range of field-installable accessories, including auxiliary switches, shunt trips, undervoltage releases, and alarm switches. These fit under the front-facing semi-transparent cover for easy identification.
Does this breaker have a push-to-trip feature?
Yes, all PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers include an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism.
