Built to handle demanding electrical distribution, this 80A PowerPacT H-Frame breaker provides fixed thermal and magnetic trip settings. It serves as an exact functional substitute for discontinued FAL36080 and FHL36080 models in existing infrastructure. The unit-mount configuration fits perfectly into motor control centers and switchboards. With a 65kAIC rating at 240V and 35kAIC at 480V, it ensures robust fault clearing capabilities while utilizing standard line and load lug connections.
The HGL36080 is a unit-mount circuit breaker, meaning it is designed to be bolted directly to a backpan or mounting plate in industrial control panels or enclosures. It is not designed to plug into a busbar system.
Can I install the HGL36080 in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No, the HGL36080 is a unit-mount breaker with lugs on both the line and load sides. For an I-Line panelboard, you need the I-Line version of this breaker, which typically starts with the catalog prefix HGA.
What are the lug torque specifications for the HGL36080?
For the standard aluminum and copper lugs, the tightening torque is 44.3 lb-in (5 N.m) for 14 to 10 AWG wire, and 123.9 lb-in (14 N.m) for 8 to 3/0 AWG wire.
Is the HGL36080 suitable for DC voltage applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications up to 500VDC with an interrupting capacity of 20kA. Note that achieving the 500VDC rating requires all three poles to be connected in series.
Can I field-adjust the trip settings on the HGL36080?
No, the HGL36080 features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip elements. If your application requires adjustable trip settings, you will need a PowerPacT breaker equipped with a MicroLogic electronic trip unit.
Does the HGL36080 provide ground fault protection?
No, this breaker includes only long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions for standard overload and short-circuit protection. It does not provide equipment ground fault protection (LSIG) or personnel ground fault circuit interruption (GFCI).
What is the difference between the HGL36080 and the HDL36080 or HJL36080?
The third letter in the catalog number indicates the interrupting rating tier. The HGL36080 has a G-tier rating of 35kA at 480VAC. The HDL offers 18kA, the HJL offers 65kA, and the HLL offers 100kA at 480VAC. All share the same physical footprint and 80A rating.
Which standalone enclosures are compatible with the HGL36080?
The HGL36080 can be installed in Square D PowerPacT H-Frame enclosures. A common compatible enclosure for a 3-pole, 80A breaker is the HD100S for NEMA 1 indoor surface-mount applications.
