Product FAQs

4 answers
What is the difference between the Square D HJL36040 and the HGL36040 circuit breakers?

The third letter of the catalog number designates the interrupting capacity. The HJL36040 features a J rating, providing up to 100kA at 240V and 65kA at 480V. The HGL36040 uses a G rating, which is a lower tier rated for 65kA at 240V and 35kA at 480V.

Can I install the HJL36040 in a Square D I-Line panelboard?

No. The HJL36040 features a unit mount, feed-thru design with line and load lugs intended for industrial control panels, motor control centers, and standard enclosures. For an I-Line panelboard, you need a plug-on variant such as the HJA36040.

Is the HJL36040 suitable for reverse-fed applications?

Yes. Thermal-magnetic PowerPacT H-Frame circuit breakers like the HJL36040 do not have line and load side restrictions and are suitable for reverse-fed or back-fed installations. Always ensure proper labeling per NEC requirements when back-feeding a main breaker.

What does the LI trip function on this breaker provide?

The LI code indicates a thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. The Long-Time element protects against sustained overloads, while the Instantaneous element reacts to high-level short circuits. Both the thermal and magnetic trip points are fixed on the HJL36040 model.

    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.
