Product FAQs

8 answers
What enclosures or panelboards are compatible with the HJA36045?

This breaker is engineered exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. Its plug-on jaw design is not compatible with standard NEMA enclosures or standard DIN rail mounting.

How does the HJA36045 connect to the panelboard bus?

As an I-Line breaker, the line side uses plug-on jaws that clamp directly onto the panelboard's vertical bus stack. The load side utilizes standard mechanical lugs for outbound wire connections.

Can the HJA36045 be used for direct current circuits?

Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is certified for up to 250VDC with a 20kA interrupting capacity. This allows it to protect certain industrial DC control circuits or battery systems.

What does the letter J signify in the HJA36045 part number?

Within the PowerPacT H-Frame nomenclature, the letter J indicates the specific interrupting capacity tier. It delivers a maximum interrupting rating of 100kA at 240VAC and 65kA at 480VAC.

Does this thermal magnetic breaker offer adjustable trip settings?

No, this specific model is equipped with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip elements. If your application requires adjustable long-time or short-time settings, you would need a breaker equipped with a Micrologic electronic trip unit instead.

What are the instantaneous magnetic trip parameters for the HJA36045?

The fixed magnetic trip unit on this 45A breaker features a hold current rating of 400A and an instantaneous trip current of 850A.

Are internal accessories interchangeable with other PowerPacT frames?

Yes, many internal accessories, such as shunt trips and auxiliary switches, are designed to be universally compatible across PowerPacT H, J, and L frame molded case circuit breakers.

What precautions should be taken when installing the HJA36045 onto an I-Line bus?

Always ensure the panelboard is completely de-energized before installation. The plug-on jaws must be seated fully onto the bus stack, and the breaker must be securely fastened to the mounting pan to maintain safe electrical and mechanical contact.
