Product FAQs

7 answers
What type of panelboards accept the HGA36045 circuit breaker?

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

What wire sizes and materials are supported by the lugs on this breaker?

The factory-installed lugs accept 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG wire. They are rated for both aluminum and copper conductors.

Can the HGA36045 be used in DC applications?

Yes, this breaker is rated for DC systems up to 500VDC. It provides an interrupting capacity of 20kA at both 250VDC and 500VDC.

Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on the HGA36045?

No, this specific PowerPacT H-frame breaker uses a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection without adjustable dials.

What does the 'G' in the HGA36045 part number indicate?

The 'G' designates the interrupting rating tier within the Square D PowerPacT H-frame family. It indicates a G-interrupting level, which provides 65kA at 240VAC, 35kA at 480VAC, and 18kA at 600VAC.

Does this breaker require a separate mounting hardware kit for installation?

No, the I-Line plug-in design includes the necessary jaw connections to mount directly onto the I-Line bus assembly. No additional mounting brackets or hardware kits are required for standard panelboard installation.

Is the HGA36045 a suitable replacement for older FA or FH series breakers?

Yes, the PowerPacT H-frame is the modern replacement for legacy Square D FA and FH series I-Line breakers. It fits into the same I-Line bus slots, though you should confirm your panel has the required mounting space.
