Engineered for commercial and industrial distribution, the Square D JGP36150 is a 3-pole, 150A MCCB from the PowerPacT J-Frame family. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection with adjustable magnetic trip settings. This unit mount breaker features line and load lugs, making it compatible with Square D NF and NQ panelboards, QED switchboards, and control panels. Rated for 65kAIC at 240V, it includes Visi-Trip visual indication for rapid fault identification and is HACR rated.
What panelboards accept the JGP36150 circuit breaker?
The JGP36150 is a unit-mount breaker designed for Square D NF Panelboards, NQ Panelboards, QED Switchboards, and Industrial Control Panels. It bolts directly to the chassis and cannot be used in I-Line plug-on panelboards.
What are the lug wire size requirements for the JGP36150?
The factory-installed lugs accept 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG aluminum or copper (Al/Cu) conductors. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
How does the trip unit operate on the JGP36150?
It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection. The thermal overload protection is fixed at 150A, while the magnetic short-circuit trip threshold is adjustable to coordinate with downstream loads.
Is the JGP36150 rated for DC voltage systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is certified for DC applications. It provides a 20kA interrupting rating at both 250VDC and 500VDC.
What is the I-Line equivalent to the JGP36150?
The JGP36150 is a unit-mount breaker. If your application requires an I-Line plug-on connection with the same 150A rating and G-tier interrupting capacity, the correct catalog number is JGA36150.
What does the G in the JGP36150 catalog number indicate?
The G designates the interrupting rating tier within the PowerPacT J-Frame family. It signifies a maximum interrupting capacity of 65kA at 240VAC, 35kA at 480VAC, and 18kA at 600VAC.
Can the JGP36150 be used in reverse-feed applications?
Yes, standard unit-mount PowerPacT J-frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers feature sealed trip units and are approved for reverse-feed installations.
Does the JGP36150 include a push-to-trip feature?
Yes, all PowerPacT J-frame circuit breakers include an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover, allowing operators to manually trip the breaker for testing and maintenance.
