Product FAQs
8 answers
What panelboards are compatible with this breaker?
This breaker mounts directly into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
Can this 2-pole breaker be installed in a 3-phase I-Line panel?
Yes. The "1" suffix in the HDA260251 catalog number indicates it is configured for an AB phase connection, allowing it to draw power from two phases of a 3-phase I-Line bus.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the load lugs?
For the standard AL150HD lugs, the required torque is 44 lb-in (5 N.m) for 14 to 10 AWG wire, and 124 lb-in (14 N.m) for 8 to 3/0 AWG wire.
Do I need a separate mounting bracket to install this breaker?
No. I-Line breakers feature a plug-on design that connects directly to the bus stack. They are secured using a retaining bracket and screw built into the panelboard.
What does the "D" in the HDA prefix signify?
The "D" indicates the interrupting rating tier within the PowerPacT H-Frame family. D-tier breakers provide 25kA at 240V, 18kA at 480V, and 14kA at 600V.
What is the difference between the HDA260251 and HGA260251?
Both are 25A, 2-pole, H-Frame I-Line breakers, but they have different interrupting ratings. The HDA is rated for 18kA at 480V, while the HGA is a higher-tier breaker rated for 35kA at 480V.
Can the HDA260251 replace older FA series breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT H-Frame is the direct replacement for legacy Square D FA-frame breakers. The HDA260251 can replace an FA26025AB in I-Line panels.
Does this breaker provide GFCI or equipment protection (EPD)?
No. This breaker features a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit (LI) for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include ground fault protection.
