The Square D HDP36050 is a 3 Pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 50 Amps and a voltage rating of 600VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 25kAIC at 240VAC, 18kAIC at 480VAC. The HDP36050 has a unit mounting type and includes long time and instantaneous trip functions.
The HDP36050 is a unit-mount (bolt-on) PowerPacT H-frame breaker. It is designed to be mounted directly to a backpan in industrial control panels, switchboards, and standalone enclosures rather than plugging onto a busbar like I-Line variants.
Can the HDP36050 be reverse fed?
Yes. Standard unit-mount PowerPacT H-frame circuit breakers with thermal-magnetic trip units, like the HDP36050, have sealed trip units and are suitable for reverse feeding.
What does the D in HDP36050 stand for?
The D indicates the breaker interrupting rating. For this model, it signifies a D-interrupting tier, which provides 14kA at 600VAC, 18kA at 480VAC, and 25kA at 240VAC.
What is the difference between HDP and HGL or HJL breakers?
The difference lies in the interrupting capacity. HDP breakers have a D-rating (14kA at 600VAC), while HGL (G-rating) and HJL (J-rating) models offer higher short-circuit interrupting capabilities for systems with higher fault current requirements.
What lug kit is used with the HDP36050?
The standard mechanical lug kit for 15 to 150A PowerPacT H-frame breakers is the AL150HD. It accepts 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.
Is the HDP36050 rated for DC voltage?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a DC interrupting rating of 20kA, making it suitable for specific direct current control panel applications.
What type of trip unit does the HDP36050 use?
It features a fixed thermal, fixed magnetic trip unit providing Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection. It does not have adjustable trip dials or electronic MicroLogic capabilities.
How do I know if the HDP36050 has tripped?
PowerPacT breakers feature a Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit fault, the handle snaps to a center position, providing a clear visual indication to help identify the tripped breaker in a crowded panel.
