Product FAQs
5 answers
What is the difference between the HJL26050 and the HDL26050 or HGL26050?
The difference is the interrupting capacity. The HJL26050 has a 100kA rating at 240VAC, while the HDL is rated for 25kA and the HGL is rated for 65kA at the same voltage. All three share the same physical dimensions and unit-mount configuration.
Can the HJL26050 circuit breaker be reverse fed?
Yes. Standard unit-mount PowerPacT H-frame circuit breakers with thermal magnetic trip units are suitable for reverse-fed applications.
What is the required lug torque for the HJL26050?
For the standard AL150HD lugs, torque 14 to 10 AWG wire to 50 lb-in, and 8 to 3/0 AWG wire to 120 lb-in.
Is this breaker 100 percent rated for continuous current?
No, the standard HJL26050 is 80 percent rated. A 100 percent rated version would require a C suffix in the catalog number, such as HJL26050C.
What panels accept the HJL26050 breaker?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for Square D NQ and NF panelboards, switchboards, and industrial control panels. It requires a backpan or DIN rail mounting hardware and will not plug into an I-Line panelboard.

Great Customer Service
Working with Superbreakers the team is so helpful. They answer the phone and are very accommodating. We had an issue with the refurbished breaker not working out and they helped get a new one out right away.
