The Square D HJL26020 is a 2 Pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 20 Amps and a voltage rating of 600VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 65kAIC at 480V. The HJL26020 has a feed-thru connection type and includes long time and instantaneous trip functions.
Can I install the HJL26020 in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No. The HJL26020 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, which features a plug-on jaw on the line side, such as catalog number HJA26020.
What does the "J" in the HJL26020 catalog number indicate?
The "J" designates the interrupting rating tier of the PowerPacT H-frame series. A J-interrupting breaker provides a fault current rating of 65kA at 480VAC, which is higher than the standard G-tier or D-tier models.
Is the Square D HJL26020 suitable for reverse-feed applications?
Yes. Because it uses a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit without advanced electronic communications, this breaker can be reverse fed. This allows the line power to be connected to either the top or bottom lugs.
How can I manually test the mechanical trip operation of this breaker?
The HJL26020 features an integral push-to-trip button located on the front cover. Pressing this button manually trips the breaker mechanism, which is recommended as part of a regular preventive maintenance program.
Can I add auxiliary contacts or a shunt trip to the HJL26020?
Yes. The PowerPacT H-frame series supports a wide range of field-installable internal accessories, including auxiliary switches, alarm switches, shunt trips, and undervoltage releases. These install directly into the accessory compartments under the front cover.
Is the HJL26020 rated for 100 percent continuous current?
No, this standard model is rated for 80 percent continuous current. If your application requires a 100 percent continuous current rating, you will need the variant with a "C" suffix, such as catalog number HJL26020C.
How is the HJL26020 secured inside an enclosure?
As a unit-mount breaker, it is designed to be fastened directly to a backpan, mounting plate, or DIN rail (with the appropriate adapter) using screws. It does not plug onto a busbar system.
