Built for heavy-duty commercial environments, this 90A F-frame circuit breaker provides essential long-time and instantaneous trip functions. The device mounts into legacy Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. Because it only requires 3 inches of mounting space, it acts as the preferred replacement over the newer HGA36090, which demands a wider 4.5-inch slot. Capable of interrupting 35kA at 480Y/277V, the breaker includes standard load lugs and is fully HACR rated for HVAC equipment.
What panelboards are compatible with the FGA34090 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line style plug-in connection on the line side and standard lugs on the load side.
Can I replace an FGA34090 with a newer PowerPact H-frame breaker?
While the PowerPact H-frame (such as the HGA36090) is the modern replacement for legacy F-frame breakers, it requires 4.5 inches of mounting space. The FGA34090 only requires 3 inches of mounting space. If your existing panel configuration is tight, you must use the legacy F-frame to fit the 3-inch slot.
What wire sizes do the load lugs on the FGA34090 accept?
The factory-installed load lugs accept copper or aluminum wire ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG.
What does the G in the FGA frame designation indicate?
The G denotes the interrupting rating tier for this specific F-frame breaker. It provides a 65kAIC rating at 240VAC and a 35kAIC rating at 480VAC.
How does the I-Line connection mount into the panel?
The breaker features plug-in jaws on the line side that press directly onto the I-Line panelboard bus assembly. The load side uses standard mechanical lugs for wire termination.
Is the trip unit on the FGA34090 adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides standard Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection functions that cannot be field-adjusted.
