Product FAQs
8 answers
What type of panelboards is the HDA260801 compatible with?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line style plug-in connection on the line side and cannot be used in standard unit-mount applications.
Can I install this breaker in a standard QO or NQ panelboard?
No. The HDA260801 is a PowerPacT H-frame breaker with an I-Line plug-in mounting style. It will not fit in QO, NQ, or NF panelboards.
What does the number 1 at the end of the HDA260801 catalog number indicate?
The number 1 specifies an AB phase connection for the I-Line plug-in mounting bus.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the load side lugs?
The factory-installed mechanical lugs accept 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.
Is the trip unit on the HDA260801 adjustable?
Yes, the magnetic trip function is adjustable to allow for fine-tuning the instantaneous short-circuit response. The thermal overload protection remains fixed.
What does the LI trip function code mean on this breaker?
LI stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The Long-Time function provides standard thermal overload protection, while the Instantaneous function provides immediate magnetic tripping during a short circuit.
What is the difference between the HDA260801 and HGA260801?
The second letter in the catalog number indicates the interrupting rating. The HDA features a D-class interrupting rating (18kA at 480VAC), while the HGA features a higher G-class interrupting rating. Both share the same physical PowerPacT H-frame size and I-Line mounting.
Is the HDA260801 HACR rated?
Yes, this PowerPacT H-frame circuit breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
