Product FAQs

8 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the HJA36050?

This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection, meaning it is designed specifically for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. The line side connects directly to the I-Line bus stack.

What does the "J" in the HJA36050 catalog number signify?

The "J" indicates the interrupting rating tier within the PowerPacT H-Frame family. The J-interrupting tier provides high interrupting capacity, rated for 100kA at 240VAC and 65kA at 480VAC.

Can the HJA36050 be used in DC applications?

Yes, this thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is rated for use on DC circuits up to 250VDC with a 20kA interrupting rating.

How are the line and load side connections made on the HJA36050?

The line side features an I-Line plug-in connection that mounts directly to the panelboard bus stack. The load side comes standard with mechanical lugs that accept 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.

Can I add an auxiliary switch or shunt trip to the HJA36050?

What is the difference between the HJA36050 and the HGA36050?

Both are 50-Amp, 3-pole PowerPacT H-Frame circuit breakers for I-Line panelboards, but they feature different interrupting capacities. The HJA36050 is a J-tier high-interrupting breaker rated at 100kA at 240VAC and 65kA at 480VAC, while the HGA36050 is a G-tier standard-interrupting breaker rated at 65kA at 240VAC and 35kA at 480VAC.

Is the HJA36050 HACR rated?

Yes, this circuit breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment in accordance with the National Electrical Code.

What size hex wrench is required for the load side lugs on the HJA36050?

The standard mechanical lugs on this breaker require a 3/16-inch hex wrench (Allen wrench) for proper installation and torqueing of the conductor screws.
