Part of the Square D PowerPacT family, the HDA261501 is a 2-pole, 150A molded case circuit breaker built for commercial and industrial applications. It handles up to 600VAC and 250VDC. Featuring an I-Line plug-on design, it mounts into compatible Square D panelboards and switchboards. This unit acts as a reliable upgrade for discontinued KA26150 and KA26150AB breakers. The breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with an AB phase connection, delivering an 18kAIC rating at 480V.
What panelboards are compatible with the HDA261501?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard QO, NQ, or NF series panels.
Can I use this PowerPacT H-frame breaker in an older I-Line panel?
Yes. Schneider Electric has confirmed that PowerPacT H-frame I-Line breakers are backward compatible with existing and older Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, provided the voltage and AIC ratings meet your system requirements.
Which legacy Square D breakers does the HDA261501 replace?
The HDA261501 is the direct PowerPacT replacement for discontinued 150A, 2-pole FA, FH, and KA series I-Line breakers, including catalog numbers like KA26150 and KA26150AB.
What does the 1 at the end of the HDA261501 catalog number signify?
The 1 indicates an AB phase connection for the I-Line bus. The breaker will draw power from the A and B phases of the panelboard.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the load side lugs?
The standard AL150HD mechanical lugs require a tightening torque of 44.25 lb-in (5 N.m) for 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
How does the I-Line connection work on this breaker?
The breaker features plug-on I-Line jaws on the line side that snap directly onto the panelboard bus, while the load side uses standard mechanical lugs for wire termination.
