Calibrated for 50°C (122°F) ambient temperatures, this 20A F-Frame breaker prevents nuisance tripping in hot industrial environments. It delivers reliable long-time and instantaneous overcurrent protection. The unit mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. While the HDA36020 serves as a base replacement, it lacks the specialized G35 high-temperature calibration found on this specific model.
What type of panelboards is the FA36020G35 compatible with?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line style plug-in connection that mounts directly to the interior bus system.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the lugs on the FA36020G35?
The factory-installed lugs accept wire gauges ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG. The terminals are rated for use with both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.
Can the FA36020G35 be used in direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC.
Are the trip settings on this breaker adjustable?
No, the FA36020G35 features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time (overload) and instantaneous (short-circuit) trip functions are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Is the FA frame series still the current standard for Square D?
The FA frame is classified as a legacy molded case circuit breaker family. While exact replacements like the FA36020G35 are still sourced for existing I-Line panelboards, Square D has transitioned to the PowerPact H-frame series (such as the HDA36020) for modern upgrades and new installations.
Does this breaker provide both overload and short-circuit protection?
Yes, the FA36020G35 utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. The thermal component provides long-time protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component provides instantaneous protection against high-level short circuits.

Great company
Ordered on a Saturday evening, paid for two day shipping and it arrived on time and in perfect condition. Would 100 percent be using this company going forward, beat out pricing and shipping times for all my local supply houses. Plus the staff were great to deal with.

Professional Service
So far, so good! The circuit breaker was installed along with a new compressor for our church AC, and everything is now working well.
The company has been professional, dependable, and reputable throughout the process. I had a question after the installation, and it was answered immediately. I also appreciated that they followed up and asked for feedback to make sure the new part was working properly and that we were satisfied with the service.
It’s refreshing to deal with a company that not only has quality products but also cares about its customers after the job is completed. I would definitely recommend them!

As good as new
The Square D FA32100 circuit breaker (refurbished) was as good as a new breaker, without exception. There was no wear and tear or any marks at all. It was basically new. It is an excellent choice and a great product without having to pay the cost of a new breaker.
