Product FAQs

8 answers
What is the difference between the JDA36250U33X and the JDA36250CU33X?

The standard JDA36250U33X is rated for 80% continuous load. The JDA36250CU33X includes a 'C' suffix, indicating it is 100% rated and can carry its full 250A capacity continuously without violating electrical code requirements for continuous loads.

What does the U33X suffix mean on this Square D breaker?

The U33X suffix indicates the breaker is equipped with a Micrologic 3.2S electronic trip unit. This provides adjustable Long-time, Short-time, and Instantaneous (LSI) standard protection.

Are the trip settings field-adjustable on the JDA36250CU33X?

Yes, the electronic trip unit allows field adjustment of the Long-time, Short-time, and Instantaneous (LSI) protective functions. This provides flexibility for selective coordination in complex electrical systems.

Can the JDA36250CU33X replace older KA-frame circuit breakers?

Yes, this PowerPacT J-Frame breaker serves as a direct, microprocessor-based upgrade for legacy Square D KA36250 I-Line breakers. It fits into the same I-Line panelboard spaces while offering advanced electronic trip functions.

Does the JDA36250CU33X provide ground-fault protection?

No, this model features an LSI trip unit, which does not include ground-fault protection. Applications requiring ground-fault protection need an LSIG trip unit, typically indicated by a U44X suffix.

How does the JDA36250CU33X install into a panelboard?

This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection. It is designed to drop directly into the bus of Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, allowing for fast installation without requiring additional mounting hardware.

Is the JDA36250CU33X compatible with non-Square D panels?

No, the I-Line plug-in mounting style is proprietary to Square D. This breaker is only compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.

What does the 'D' in the JDA36250CU33X part number signify?

In the PowerPacT nomenclature, the 'D' indicates the specific interrupting capacity tier of the breaker. It signifies the standard interrupting level, which provides up to 18kAIC at 480V, distinguishing it from higher-tier G, J, or L interrupting ratings.
