Product FAQs

7 answers
Can the GM24181-13 be used to replace a PGP36120CU33A?

Yes, the GM24181-13 serves as a direct substitute for the Square D PGP36120CU33A. Both are 1200A, 3-pole PowerPact P-frame breakers with LSI electronic trip units and identical interrupting capacities.

Which enclosures and panels are compatible with the GM24181-13?

This unit-mount breaker is engineered specifically for integration into Square D motor control centers and commercial switchboards. It is not compatible with I-Line panelboards, which require a plug-on mounting bracket.

What are the conductor requirements for the terminal lugs on this breaker?

The factory-installed lugs accommodate four 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil conductors per phase. The terminals are rated for both aluminum and copper wire.

How does the LSI electronic trip unit benefit system coordination?

The LSI (Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous) trip unit allows electricians to fine-tune the breaker's time-current curve. This adjustability ensures selective coordination with downstream breakers, isolating faults without tripping the main breaker.

Does the GM24181-13 include ground fault protection?

No, this breaker features an LSI trip unit. It does not include the Ground-Fault (G) function required for LSIG protection. If ground fault protection is required by the NEC for your application, a different trip unit or external relay is necessary.

What interrupting rating class does this PowerPact P-frame breaker have?

It features a G interrupt rating, which delivers a maximum breaking capacity of 65kA at 240VAC, 35kA at 480VAC, and 18kA at 600VAC.

Does this breaker require a separate mounting base for installation?

No, the GM24181-13 is a unit-mount breaker. It bolts directly to the switchboard bus or mounting pan and does not use a separate plug-in base like drawout or I-Line variants.
