Description

Part of the legacy F-Frame series, the Square D FIL36090 delivers high-performance overcurrent protection for commercial power distribution. This 90-amp, 3-pole breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed LI functions. It installs into standard Square D switchboards and motor control centers using a unit-mount configuration. For modern upgrades, it is replaced by the PowerPact HRL36090. Rated for 200 kAIC at 480VAC, its current-limiting design minimizes potential fault damage.

Product FAQs

6 answers
Which Square D enclosures are compatible with the FIL36090 circuit breaker?

The FIL36090 is a unit-mount F-frame breaker that fits into standard Square D FA-series enclosures. Common options include the FA100S for surface mounting, the FA100F for flush mounting, and the FA100DS for NEMA 4/4X stainless steel applications.

What is the modern replacement for the legacy Square D FIL36090?

The FIL36090 is an obsolete legacy F-frame breaker. For new installations or direct upgrades, Schneider Electric recommends the PowerPact H-frame series, specifically catalog number HRL36090, which matches the 90A rating, 3-pole configuration, and 200kA at 480V interrupting capacity.

What is the recommended lug torque for the FIL36090 breaker?

When using the standard AL100FA mechanical lugs, the recommended tightening torque is 50 lb-in (5.6 N.m) for the accepted 14 to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire range.

How does the current-limiting feature of the FIL36090 operate during a fault?

As a current-limiting breaker, the FIL36090 is designed to clear high-magnitude short circuits in less than a half-cycle. This rapid response significantly reduces the peak let-through current and thermal energy reaching downstream equipment, minimizing potential fault damage.

Can the FIL36090 be installed in an I-Line panelboard?

No. The FIL36090 is a unit-mount breaker designed for individual enclosures, switchboards, or motor control centers using lug connections. For I-Line panelboards, a plug-on F-frame breaker with an I-Line bracket is required.

Are the trip settings adjustable on the FIL36090?

No. The FIL36090 features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed Long-Time (thermal) and fixed Instantaneous (magnetic) trip functions. It does not offer field-adjustable trip dials.
