What does the -1021 suffix mean on the Square D KA36125-1021?
The -1021 suffix indicates that this circuit breaker includes a factory-installed 120-240VAC shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via a separate control circuit.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy KA36125-1021?
The KA36125-1021 is a legacy K-Frame breaker. In modern Square D systems, it is typically replaced by the PowerPact H-Frame series, specifically models like the HGA36125SA, which also features an I-Line connection and a factory-installed shunt trip.
Can I install the KA36125-1021 in a standard QO or Homeline load center?
No, this is an I-Line style plug-in molded case circuit breaker. It is designed exclusively for commercial and industrial Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, and will not fit in standard residential load centers.
Does the KA36125-1021 require a separate mounting kit for I-Line panels?
No, the KA36125-1021 features an integrated I-Line style plug-in connection. It mounts directly onto the I-Line bus assembly without the need for additional mounting hardware or brackets.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the KA36125-1021?
The thermal overload protection is fixed at 125 amps, but the magnetic short-circuit protection is adjustable. This allows you to fine-tune the instantaneous trip response for your specific application.
Is the KA36125-1021 suitable for 480V commercial systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 600VAC. When installed in a 480V system, it provides an interrupting capacity of 25kAIC.
Can I use aluminum wire with the KA36125-1021?
Yes, the standard lugs on this breaker are dual-rated for both aluminum and copper conductors, accepting wire sizes from 4 AWG to 350 kcmil.

Multiple orders
I have purchased multiple breakers (of fairly large size) from SuperBreakers and their pricing has been excellent and the delivery time spot on. I would highly recommend them

Order Messed Up - Breaker Great
I have ordered many breakers through SuperBreakers with no issues until this order. I ordered this breaker and it wasn't shipped. I sent a message and was told that a mistake was make in shipping and that they would next day air the breaker to me. 5 days later (weekend in there) the breaker arrived. Not next day air, but shit happens. Sent the breaker still in the box out with my electrician and received a call from him that the breaker that was sent was a KAL36100 not the KA36100. I reached out to SuperBreakers and was told the correct breaker would be next day aired that day and I was emailed a shipping label to send back the incorrect one. This time it arrived the next day and was installed. This error cost my customer a couple days with out power to a dimmer cabinet and about 2 extra hours of labor, but all was okay in the end. Mistakes happen. The help and quick responses to my emails I received from Mike David showed me enough about this company. I look forward to my next order. Thank you for working this situation out in timely manor.

Worked As Planned
They had what we needed to match existing equipment, they shipped the same day and we put it right into service, no problems from first phone call to delivery and install.
