Engineered for commercial and industrial distribution, the HGL36100U33X is a 3-pole, 100A molded case circuit breaker from Square D's PowerPacT H-Frame lineup. It provides robust current-limiting performance for demanding electrical systems. This unit-mount breaker installs into industrial control panels, switchboards, and NF or NQ main panelboards using standard lug terminals. Rated for 65kAIC at 240V, it features a Micrologic 3.2 S electronic trip unit for adjustable LSI protection.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the lug terminals on the HGL36100U33X?
The factory lugs on this breaker accept 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire and should be torqued to 44.25 lb-in (5 N.m).
What does the U33X suffix indicate on this Square D circuit breaker?
The U33X suffix specifies that the breaker is equipped with a Micrologic 3.2S electronic trip unit, which provides adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) protection.
What is the adjustable continuous current range for the HGL36100U33X?
The Micrologic 3.2S trip unit allows the long-time pickup to be adjusted from 0.35 to 1.0 times the 100A rating, providing a continuous current range of 35A to 100A.
Which panelboards and enclosures are compatible with the HGL36100U33X?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for use in PowerPacT H-Frame enclosures, industrial control panels, switchboards, and as a main breaker in NF and NQ panelboards.
Can the HGL36100U33X be mounted on a standard DIN rail?
No, this specific model is a unit-mount (feed-thru) breaker designed to be individually mounted on a backpan or plate using screws. It is not designed for DIN rail or I-Line plug-on mounting.
Can the HGL36100U33X be reverse fed?
Yes, this standard unit-mount PowerPacT H-Frame breaker features a sealed trip unit and is suitable for reverse-feed applications.
Does the Micrologic 3.2S trip unit on this breaker use true RMS sensing?
Yes, the electronic trip unit provides true RMS sensing, ensuring accurate protection even in systems with high harmonic distortion.
Are the factory lugs on the HGL36100U33X rated for both aluminum and copper wire?
Yes, the included lugs are dual-rated for use with either aluminum or copper conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG.
Does the HGL36100U33X have a mechanism to manually test the breaker?
Yes, it features an integral push-to-trip button on the cover that allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism.
Is the HGL36100U33X rated for 100 percent continuous current?
No, this is a standard-rated breaker, meaning it is rated for 80 percent continuous current. For continuous loads lasting 3 hours or more, the load should not exceed 80A.
