Product FAQs
8 answersWhat does the "SA" suffix mean in the HJL36080SA catalog number?
The "SA" suffix indicates this breaker includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip, which allows for remote tripping of the circuit breaker.
What does the catalog number HJL36080SA indicate?
"H" stands for the PowerPacT H-Frame, "J" indicates the interrupting rating (65kA at 480VAC), "L" means it has lugs on both the line and load sides, "3" is for 3-pole, "6" is for the 600VAC voltage class, "080" is the 80-amp rating, and "SA" denotes the factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip.
What panels and enclosures are compatible with the HJL36080SA?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for use in Square D industrial control panels, switchboards, and enclosures. It can also be installed as a main breaker in NQ and NF panelboards.
Can the HJL36080SA replace older FAL series breakers?
Yes, PowerPacT H-frame breakers like the HJL36080SA are the modern replacements for legacy Square D FAL36080 breakers. Retrofitting may require different mounting hardware or space considerations due to updated frame dimensions.
How is the HJL36080SA mounted?
This is a unit-mount circuit breaker, meaning it is designed to be bolted directly to a panel backpan or enclosure rather than plugging onto a busbar like I-Line variants.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the HJL36080SA?
The factory-installed line and load lugs accept 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire. Proper torque specifications must be followed during installation.
What type of trip unit does the HJL36080SA use?
It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit that provides long-time (L) and instantaneous (I) overcurrent protection. The trip settings are non-interchangeable and factory-sealed.
Is the HJL36080SA suitable for reverse-feed applications?
Yes, standard thermal-magnetic PowerPacT H-frame breakers are suitable for reverse-feed applications and do not have line or load marking restrictions.
