Product FAQs

7 answers
Is the Square D FAL36090 still manufactured, or is there a direct replacement?

The FAL36090 is a legacy F-frame circuit breaker. Its modern drop-in replacement is the PowerPact H-frame series, specifically the HDL36090, which offers the same 90A rating and unit-mount configuration.

What is the I-Line equivalent of the FAL36090?

The FAL36090 is a unit-mount circuit breaker. If you need the plug-on I-Line version for a Square D panelboard, the equivalent legacy part number is FA36090.

What lug kit is standard for the FAL36090?

This breaker typically uses the AL100FA mechanical lug kit, which accepts 14 to 1/0 AWG copper or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire.

Can the FAL36090 be mounted in an I-Line panelboard?

No. The FAL36090 features a feed-thru unit-mount design with lugs on both the line and load sides. It is not compatible with I-Line plug-on panelboards.

What types of enclosures and panels accept the FAL36090?

This unit-mount breaker is designed for use in standard Square D enclosures, switchboards, and unit-mount panelboards that accommodate legacy F-frame breakers.

What does the LI trip function code mean on this breaker?

The LI designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (thermal) and Instantaneous (magnetic) overcurrent protection.

Are the trip settings adjustable on the FAL36090?

No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. Neither the long-time nor the instantaneous trip points can be adjusted in the field.
