Product FAQs
7 answersWhat does the G in the HGL36040 part number signify?
The G designates the interrupting capacity tier within the Square D PowerPacT H-Frame series. It indicates a rating of 65kA at 240VAC, 35kA at 480VAC, and 18kA at 600VAC.
How does the HGL36040 mount into an electrical panel?
The L in the HGL prefix indicates this is a unit-mount breaker equipped with lugs on both the line and load sides. It bolts directly to the backpan of industrial control panels or switchboards and is not compatible with I-Line panelboards.
Can the HGL36040 be reverse fed?
Yes. Because it utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit, this PowerPacT H-Frame breaker is suitable for reverse-fed applications.
What is the difference between the HGL36040 and the HJL36040?
The difference lies in the interrupting capacity. The HGL36040 features a G rating (35kA at 480VAC), whereas the HJL36040 features a higher J rating (65kA at 480VAC). Both share the same 40A rating, physical footprint, and unit-mount design.
Does this breaker provide visual trip indication?
Yes. The handle features a center tripped position that provides positive visual confirmation when the breaker has opened due to a fault. To reset the breaker, the handle must be pushed to the extreme OFF position before returning it to the ON position.
Which standalone enclosures accept the HGL36040?
This breaker is designed to fit standard Square D PowerPacT H-Frame enclosures. Ensure the selected enclosure is specifically rated for a 3-pole, unit-mount breaker.
What internal contact design does the HGL36040 use?
It features dual-break rotating contacts that help reduce peak current during short-circuit fault conditions. This design limits let-through currents and enhances overall equipment protection.
