Product FAQs

8 answers
What older Square D circuit breakers can the HDA261252 replace?

The HDA261252 is an exact substitute for the discontinued KA26125AC model. Additionally, PowerPacT H-frame breakers can often replace obsolete F-frame (FA or FH) I-Line breakers in older QED switchboards and I-Line panelboards.

Which panelboards accept the HDA261252 circuit breaker?

This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard load centers or NQ/NF panelboards.

What does the 2 at the end of the HDA261252 catalog number indicate?

The final digit specifies the busbar phase connection. For this 2-pole breaker, the 2 indicates it is configured for an A and C phase connection on the I-Line bus.

How does the I-Line connection work on this breaker?

The breaker features a plug-on line side that connects directly to the I-Line bus stack. The load side is equipped with factory-installed mechanical lugs for securing the outgoing conductors.

What wire sizes are compatible with the load-side lugs?

The standard mechanical lugs accept wire sizes ranging from 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG. They are rated for use with both aluminum and copper conductors.

Is the trip unit on the HDA261252 adjustable?

Yes, it features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for short-circuit protection. The magnetic trip range is adjustable from 900A to 1700A.

What does the D in the HDA prefix signify?

The D designates the interrupting rating tier within the PowerPacT H-Frame family. It indicates a standard breaking capacity, which provides 18kA of fault protection at 480VAC, distinguishing it from higher-rated G, J, or L models.

Does the PowerPacT H-Frame design offer current-limiting features?

Yes, these breakers are equipped with dual-break rotating contacts that significantly reduce the amount of peak current and let-through energy during a short-circuit fault.
