Engineered for robust performance, this 100A, 2-pole PowerPacT H-Frame circuit breaker provides thermal-magnetic protection for industrial systems. It utilizes an I-Line plug-on mounting style to seamlessly integrate into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. Facility managers can use this unit to replace the legacy FA26100AC breaker. Capable of handling 18kAIC at 480V, it comes equipped with an AC phase connection, fixed LI trip functions, and a Visi-Trip visual indicator.
What type of panelboards accept the HDA261002 breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line style plug-in connection that mounts directly to the bus stack and cannot be used in standard NQ, NF, QO, or Homeline load centers.
What does the LI trip function indicate on this breaker?
The LI designation means this thermal-magnetic breaker provides Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) trip functions. The long-time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function trips immediately during a short circuit.
Are the lugs on the HDA261002 rated for both copper and aluminum wire?
Yes, the factory-installed lugs accept either copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG. Ensure you apply the correct torque during installation: 44.25 lb-in for 14 to 10 AWG, and 123.91 lb-in for 8 to 3/0 AWG.
Is the HDA261002 rated for 80% or 100% continuous current?
This breaker has a standard 80% continuous current rating. It is not rated for 100% continuous operation.
What are the magnetic hold and trip current settings for this breaker?
The HDA261002 features fixed magnetic trip settings, with a magnetic hold current of 900A and a magnetic tripping current of 1700A.
What does the "D" in the HDA261002 part number indicate?
In the PowerPacT H-frame series, the "D" designates the breaking capacity code. A D-interrupting rating provides 25kA at 240VAC, 18kA at 480VAC, and 14kA at 600VAC.
Does this breaker feature a push-to-trip mechanism for testing?
Yes, the HDA261002 includes an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism.
