Product FAQs

8 answers
What is the modern replacement for the discontinued FA36090?

The FA36090 is a legacy F-Frame circuit breaker [1.1.2]. Schneider Electric recommends the PowerPact B-Frame BDA36090 as the direct replacement. The PowerPact H-Frame HDA36090 is also frequently used as a 90A, 3-pole I-Line upgrade since it offers the same 18kAIC at 480V interrupting capacity.

What are the magnetic trip settings for this circuit breaker?

The FA36090 features fixed thermal and magnetic trip elements. The magnetic hold current is factory set at 900A, and the magnetic trip current is set at 1700A.

Can the FA36090 be installed in DC systems?

Yes, this breaker is rated for direct current applications. It can be applied on ungrounded systems up to 250VDC with a maximum interrupting capacity of 10kA.

What type of panelboard accepts the FA36090?

This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in line connection. It is designed exclusively for mounting in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, and will not fit in QO, NQ, or NF series load centers.

Which wire sizes are compatible with the load lugs?

The standard AL100FA mechanical lugs on the load side accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper conductors, or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum conductors.

How is the line connection made on this breaker?

As an I-Line unit, the line side features plug-on jaws that clamp securely onto the busbars of an I-Line panelboard. The load side utilizes standard mechanical lugs for outgoing field wiring.

What does the LI trip function indicate for safety protection?

The LI designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (L) protection against sustained thermal overloads and Instantaneous (I) protection against high-level short circuits. Both the thermal and magnetic pickup points are fixed.

Is the FA36090 suitable for heating and cooling equipment?

Yes. It is HACR rated, which means it is safety certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires multi-motor or combination-load circuit protection.

    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.
