Operating within the PowerPacT H-Frame series, the Square D HGL26080 is an 80A, 2-pole MCCB. It utilizes thermal-magnetic technology for essential LI fault protection. The unit-mount configuration includes line and load lugs for installation into NF or NQ main panelboards. It acts as an exact substitute for legacy FHL26080 units. Capable of handling 65kAIC at 240V, the breaker incorporates a Visi-Trip indicator to simplify troubleshooting. It is HACR rated and supports reverse-feed setups.

Product FAQs
7 answers
What enclosures and panels are compatible with the HGL26080 circuit breaker?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for use in PowerPacT H-Frame enclosures, switchboards, and industrial control panels. It can also be installed as a main breaker in Square D NF and NQ panelboards.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the HGL26080?
The standard line and load lugs accept 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation as specified on the breaker faceplate.
How is the HGL26080 mounted?
This is a unit-mount breaker, meaning it is typically surface-mounted or installed on a DIN rail with the appropriate adapter and wired directly via its feed-thru lugs. It does not plug into a busbar like I-Line variants.
What does the G in the HGL26080 part number signify?
In the Square D PowerPacT nomenclature, the G indicates the interrupting rating tier. For this H-Frame breaker, the G-rating provides 65kA at 240VAC, 35kA at 480VAC, and 18kA at 600VAC.
Can the PowerPacT HGL26080 replace older Square D F-Frame breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT H-Frame series was introduced to replace legacy F-Frame breakers, such as the FAL or FHL series. However, because physical dimensions and mounting footprints differ, retrofitting a unit-mount breaker into older equipment may require adapter hardware or enclosure modifications.
Is the HGL26080 suitable for use in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for DC applications up to 500VDC, providing a 20kA interrupting rating at both 250VDC and 500VDC.
How can I manually test the tripping mechanism on the HGL26080?
Like all PowerPacT circuit breakers, the HGL26080 features an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover, allowing you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism.
