Product FAQs
7 answers
What type of panelboards is the FH36020G compatible with?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a plug-on connection that ratchets firmly onto the I-Line bus stack.
Is the FH36020G still manufactured, or is there a direct replacement?
The FH36020G is a legacy F-Frame MCCB. For modern upgrades or replacements, Square D (Schneider Electric) recommends the PowerPact H-Frame series, specifically the HGA36020, which also mounts directly into I-Line panelboards.
Can the FH36020G replace an older FA-frame breaker?
Yes, the FH36020G shares the same physical dimensions and I-Line mounting as the standard FA-frame. It can be used as a direct upgrade, offering a higher interrupting rating of 65kAIC at 240VAC.
Does this breaker require a separate mounting bracket for installation?
No, as an I-Line style plug-in breaker, it mounts directly onto the panelboard bus stack and is secured with a screwdriver. No additional mounting hardware or brackets are required for standard installation.
What wire sizes are compatible with the factory lugs on this breaker?
The factory lugs accept 14 AWG to 4 AWG copper (Cu) wire, or 12 AWG to 4 AWG aluminum (Al) wire.
What type of trip unit does the FH36020G use?
It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit, providing both long-time (thermal) protection for overloads and instantaneous (magnetic) protection for short circuits.
Can the FH36020G be used in DC applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for 250VDC systems with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC.
