Product FAQs
7 answers
What is the recommended tightening torque for the lugs on the HGL36045?
The torque specification depends on the wire size used. For 14 AWG to 10 AWG wire, tighten to 44 lbf-in (5 N.m). For 8 AWG to 3/0 AWG wire, tighten to 124 lbf-in (14 N.m).
Can the Square D HGL36045 circuit breaker be reverse fed?
Yes, standard unit-mount PowerPacT H-frame breakers with sealed thermal magnetic trip units, like the HGL36045, are suitable for reverse feeding.
Can I use the HGL36045 in an I-Line panelboard?
No, the HGL36045 is a unit-mount breaker with feed-thru lug connections. For an I-Line panelboard, you will need the I-Line version, which is catalog number HGA36045.
What are the magnetic hold and trip thresholds for this 45A breaker?
The fixed magnetic trip unit on the HGL36045 has a hold current of 400A and a tripping current of 850A.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the HGL36045?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The Long-Time and Instantaneous trip thresholds cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does the HGL36045 provide ground fault protection?
No, this breaker features an LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) thermal magnetic trip unit. It provides overload and short circuit protection but does not include integrated ground fault protection.
What is the continuous current rating of the HGL36045?
This breaker has a standard continuous current rating of 80 percent. For a 100 percent rated application, a different catalog number with a "C" suffix (HGL36045C) would be required.
