Description

A reliable solution for commercial facilities, the FAP36030 is a 3-pole, 30-amp bolt-on circuit breaker from Square D. It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit to deliver long-time and instantaneous protection for heavy-duty loads. Designed to integrate with Square D motor control centers and panelboards, it offers a 600VAC maximum rating and 18 kAIC interrupting capacity at 480VAC. This legacy F-frame model is HACR rated and can be substituted with the newer HJP36030.

Product FAQs

7 answers
Can I install the FAP36030 in a standard Square D FA100 series enclosure?

No. While the FAP36030 may physically fit, FA100 series enclosures are UL listed exclusively for lug-to-lug circuit breakers, which feature an "L" as the third digit in the catalog number (such as the FAL36030). The FAP36030 is designed for bolt-on applications in Square D motor control centers and panelboards.

What is the modern replacement for the legacy FAP36030 breaker?

The FAP36030 is part of the legacy Square D F-frame series, which has been superseded by the PowerPact H-frame series. When replacing an FAP36030, verify the required interrupting capacity and mounting style to select the correct H-frame equivalent, such as the HJP36030.

Is the FAP36030 rated for direct current (DC) systems?

Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10 kAIC. Ensure your specific DC wiring configuration complies with the manufacturer guidelines for multi-pole breakers.

How does the FAP36030 mount into a panelboard?

The FAP36030 is a bolt-on circuit breaker. Unlike the FAL series which uses lugs on both the line and load sides, the FAP series is designed to bolt directly onto the busbar in compatible Square D panelboards and motor control centers.

Does the FAP36030 feature a visual trip indicator?

Yes, this breaker includes Square D's Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, a highly visible red indicator appears in a window on the faceplate, allowing for quick fault identification in a crowded panel.

Does the FAP36030 include a push-to-trip feature?

Yes, the FAP36030 includes a push-to-trip button on the faceplate. This allows electricians to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism during routine maintenance.

Is the FAP36030 suitable for HVAC applications?

Yes, the FAP36030 is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific circuit breaker designation.
