Engineered for industrial power distribution, the Square D FAB36080 is a 3-pole, 80A circuit breaker. It utilizes fixed thermal and magnetic trip elements to protect against overloads and short circuits. This legacy F-Frame device installs into Square D I-Line panelboards with a reliable bolt-on mounting style. For modern panel upgrades, it crosses over to the PowerPact BDA36080 replacement breaker. Delivering a 25kAIC interrupt capacity at 240VAC, it handles demanding commercial loads.
What panelboards accept the FAB36080 circuit breaker?
This legacy F-Frame breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard NQ, NF, or QO load centers.
How is the FAB36080 installed into an I-Line panel?
It features a plug-on I-Line connection on the line side that attaches directly to the panelboard bus, combined with bolted lug connections on the load side.
What is the modern replacement for the FAB36080?
For modern panel upgrades, the Square D PowerPact BDA36080 is the direct replacement. It provides the same 80A capacity and I-Line mounting in an updated B-Frame design.
What wire sizes are compatible with the load side lugs?
The factory-installed AL100FA lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper wire, or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers long-time (L) thermal protection to prevent equipment overloads, and instantaneous (I) magnetic protection to quickly clear short circuits.
