Built for commercial and industrial applications, the Square D FHL36025 is a 3-pole, 25A legacy F-frame molded case circuit breaker. This unit-mount device installs into compatible Square D enclosures and switchboards. For modern system upgrades, it is replaced by the HGL36025, which requires a retrofit kit. Featuring fixed thermal-magnetic trip technology, it offers long-time and instantaneous (LI) functions with a 25kAIC rating at 480VAC.
Can the FHL36025 be installed in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No, the FHL36025 is a unit-mount breaker with a feed-thru connection (lugs on both ends). It does not have the plug-on jaw connections required for I-Line panelboards. It is designed for standard enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Is the Square D FHL36025 still in active production?
The FHL36025 is a legacy F-Frame molded case circuit breaker. For modern system upgrades or replacements, Schneider Electric designates the PowerPact B-Frame or H-Frame series, which may require a retrofit kit or adapter depending on your panel.
What is the difference between the FAL36025 and the FHL36025?
Both are 25A, 3-pole, unit-mount F-Frame breakers, but the FHL series features a higher interrupting capacity. The FHL36025 is rated for 25kAIC at 480VAC, whereas the standard FAL series has a lower short-circuit rating.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit on the FHL36025 operate?
The fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit provides dual protection: a bimetal thermal element for long-time overload protection and an electromagnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection (LI functions).
What does the "L" in the FHL36025 catalog number indicate?
In Square D F-Frame nomenclature, the "L" indicates that the breaker is a unit-mount device equipped with factory-installed mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides, distinguishing it from I-Line plug-on variants.
