Product FAQs

8 answers
Can the HDA260501 replace older Square D FA series breakers?

Yes, the PowerPacT H-frame HDA260501 is a direct replacement for the discontinued FA26050 I-Line circuit breaker. It mounts into the same Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.

What does the 1 at the end of the HDA260501 catalog number signify?

The 1 indicates that this 2-pole breaker is factory-configured for an AB phase connection on the I-Line bus.

How does the HDA260501 mount into a panel?

It features an I-Line style plug-in connection. The line side plugs directly onto the panelboard bus, while the breaker is secured to the backpan with a built-in mounting bracket. The load side uses standard mechanical lugs for field wiring.

Can I use the HDA260501 in a standard QO or Homeline load center?

No, this breaker is exclusively designed for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard residential load centers or NQ/NF commercial panels.

Is the HDA260501 suitable for DC applications?

Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, where it provides a 20kA interrupting rating.

What wire sizes are compatible with the load lugs on the HDA260501?

The factory-installed load lugs accept 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.

Does the HDA260501 feature a visual trip indicator?

Yes, as part of the PowerPacT H-frame family, it includes a Visi-Trip indicator that provides clear visual confirmation when the breaker has tripped due to an overcurrent or short circuit fault.

What type of trip unit is installed in the HDA260501?

It is equipped with a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit that provides fixed long-time (thermal) overload protection and fixed instantaneous (magnetic) short circuit protection.
