Product FAQs

5 answers
Will the KA36150 fit into standard Square D load centers or NQ panelboards?

No. The KA36150 features an I-Line plug-on connection designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is not compatible with standard residential QO load centers, NQ panels, or NF panelboards.

How does the adjustable magnetic trip function operate on this K-frame breaker?

This thermal-magnetic breaker features a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection. The adjustable dial allows technicians to tune the instantaneous trip threshold to better coordinate with downstream devices or accommodate motor inrush currents without nuisance tripping.

How are the line and load connections configured on the KA36150?

As an I-Line breaker, the line side utilizes factory-installed plug-on jaws that mount directly to the panelboard bus structure. The load side is equipped with mechanical lugs designed to accept 4 AWG to 350 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors.

Is the KA36150 part of a current production series?

The KA frame is a legacy molded case circuit breaker series from Square D. While original KA36150 units remain heavily utilized for exact replacements in existing I-Line switchboards, Schneider Electric has largely superseded the classic K-frame design with the modern PowerPact series for new installations.

Can the KA36150 be utilized in direct current (DC) power systems?

Yes. Alongside its standard AC ratings, the KA36150 is rated for use in DC applications up to 250 VDC, providing a 10 kA interrupting capacity. When installing in DC circuits, consult manufacturer guidelines to ensure proper pole wiring and series connections for your specific system voltage.

    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.
