Engineered for heavy-duty applications, the Square D JGL36250 is a 250A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from the PowerPact J-Frame series. It provides dependable thermal-magnetic protection with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) functions. This unit mount MCCB is designed to fit into Square D enclosures, industrial control panels, and motor control centers. It features a high 65kAIC interrupt rating at 240VAC and includes the Visi-Trip indicator for quick fault identification.
This unit-mount breaker comes standard with factory-installed line and load lugs (catalog number AL250JD). These lugs accept 3/0 AWG to 350 kcmil aluminum or copper wire.
Can I install the JGL36250 in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No. The JGL36250 is a unit-mount circuit breaker intended for lug-to-lug installations. For an I-Line panelboard, you must use the I-Line plug-on version, catalog number JGA36250.
Are the trip settings adjustable on this breaker?
The thermal overload protection is fixed at 250A. However, the instantaneous magnetic short-circuit protection is adjustable, providing a low hold setting of 1250A and a high trip setting of 2500A.
Is the JGL36250 suitable for reverse-fed applications?
Yes. Because it utilizes a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit without electronic communications, this circuit breaker is suitable for reverse feeding.
Can I add a shunt trip or auxiliary contacts to this breaker?
Yes. PowerPacT J-Frame breakers accept a variety of internal field-installable accessories, including shunt trips, auxiliary switches, alarm switches, and undervoltage releases.
Is this circuit breaker 80% or 100% rated?
The JGL36250 carries a standard 80% continuous current rating.
How does the breaker indicate a fault trip?
When a fault occurs, the toggle handle moves to a central tripped position. It also features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator, which provides a high-visibility mechanical flag to help you quickly locate the tripped breaker in a panel.
