Built for demanding commercial environments, the Square D HGL36125 is a 125A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker belonging to the PowerPacT H-Frame series. Equipped with line and load lugs, this unit mount MCCB integrates into industrial control panels and switchboards. It is an ideal upgrade path, replacing legacy KA36125 and KH36125 breakers. The device utilizes fixed thermal and magnetic trip settings for LI protection. With a 35kAIC rating at 480VAC, it ensures superior system safety.
What enclosures or panels accept the HGL36125 breaker?
This unit mount breaker is designed for installation in industrial control panels, standard switchboards, and Square D PowerPacT H-Frame enclosures. Because it uses a feed-thru lug connection, it bolts directly to a backpan and is not compatible with I-Line plug-on panelboards.
What does the L in the HGL part number indicate?
The L termination code means the breaker comes with factory installed lugs on both the line and load sides. This indicates it is a unit mount breaker designed for hardwiring, rather than a plug-on or drawout style.
What is the difference between an HGL36125 and an HGA36125?
The HGL is a unit mount breaker equipped with standard lugs on both ends for wiring directly to a backplate. In contrast, the HGA is an I-Line breaker built with a plug-on connection specifically for Square D I-Line distribution panels.
Can the HGL36125 circuit breaker be reverse fed?
Yes, this thermal magnetic H-Frame breaker is suitable for reverse connection. You can safely supply incoming power to either the top or bottom lugs without affecting its overcurrent protection capabilities.
How can I manually test the tripping mechanism on this breaker?
The HGL36125 features an integral push-to-trip button located on the front cover. This allows you to safely and easily test the mechanical tripping operation of the breaker during maintenance.
What internal mechanism does the PowerPacT H-Frame use to limit fault currents?
This breaker series utilizes dual-break rotating contacts. This specific design helps reduce the peak current and limits the let-through energy during a short circuit fault condition, providing enhanced equipment protection.
