Built for demanding electrical systems, the Square D JDP36250 is a 250A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from the PowerPacT J-Frame series. It utilizes a unit mount configuration for integration into NF panelboards and industrial control panels, replacing older JD36250 models. The breaker incorporates thermal-magnetic trip technology with fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic settings. It carries an interrupt rating of 25kA at 240VAC and 18kA at 480VAC.
What older Square D circuit breaker does the JDP36250 replace?
The PowerPacT JDP36250 replaces legacy Square D JD36250 circuit breakers. It serves as a direct upgrade for 250A, 3-pole applications in NF panelboards and industrial control panels.
What is the standard terminal configuration for the JDP36250?
This unit mount breaker comes standard with terminal nuts on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side. The load side lugs accept 3/0 AWG to 350 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors.
Which panelboards and enclosures are compatible with the JDP36250?
This unit mount breaker is designed for installation in Square D NF panelboards, switchboards, and industrial control panels. It features a bolt-on connection type for secure mounting.
Is the trip unit on the JDP36250 adjustable?
Yes, it features a thermal magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection.
Is the JDP36250 rated for 80 percent or 100 percent continuous current?
This breaker has a standard 80 percent continuous current rating.
What contact design does the PowerPacT J-Frame use?
PowerPacT J-Frame breakers are equipped with dual-break rotating contacts. This design helps reduce the amount of peak current during a short-circuit fault for improved system protection.
Does the JDP36250 include a push-to-trip feature for testing?
Yes, PowerPacT J-Frame breakers include an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism.
