Engineered for industrial environments, the FHL36090 is a 3-pole, 90A MCCB from Square D. It utilizes thermal-magnetic trip technology to provide dependable long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. This legacy F-Frame breaker features a unit mount design with lugs, fitting Square D enclosures and control panels. Facilities looking to upgrade can replace this unit with the newer HGL36090. With a high interrupting capacity of 65kA at 240VAC, it safely handles demanding commercial loads.
Is the Square D FHL36090 still in active production?
The FHL36090 is a legacy F-Frame circuit breaker. Schneider Electric has designated the PowerPact B-Frame series as the modern replacement for 15 to 125A F-Frame applications.
Can the FHL36090 be reverse fed?
Yes. Because this thermal magnetic breaker does not have dedicated Line and Load markings, it can be reverse fed for supply side applications.
What does the H in the FHL prefix indicate?
In Square D legacy F-Frame nomenclature, the H indicates a high interrupting capacity. The FHL36090 provides up to 65kAIC at 240VAC and 25kAIC at 480VAC, which is higher than standard FAL breakers.
What size wire is accepted by the FHL36090 lugs?
The standard feed-thru lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire.
Can I install the FHL36090 in an I-Line panelboard?
No. The FHL36090 is a unit mount breaker designed with lugs on both the line and load sides. It is intended for individual enclosures, switchboards, or control panels, not for I-Line plug-on bus connections.
Is the FHL36090 rated for DC voltage applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specific DC control circuits or ungrounded DC systems.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the FHL36090?
No. This breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous protection but does not allow for field adjustments of the trip curve.
