Operating as a core component in commercial power systems, this 125A molded case breaker delivers dependable thermal-magnetic protection. The rugged construction withstands the demands of continuous industrial applications. This unit-mount device installs into legacy Square D switchboards, motor control centers, and specific equipment enclosures. When planning system upgrades, engineers typically replace this frame with the PowerPacT HGL26125 model. The adjustable magnetic trip adds flexibility.
What equipment is the KAL26125 designed to be installed in?
This legacy K-frame breaker is engineered for unit-mount applications in older Square D switchboards, motor control centers, and specific equipment enclosures. It bolts directly to the chassis and uses feed-thru lugs, meaning it will not plug onto I-Line panelboard busbars.
What is the recommended modern replacement for the KAL26125?
For system upgrades or replacing obsolete units, the modern equivalent is the Square D PowerPact H-frame series. The HGL26125 is a common replacement that provides matching amperage and higher interrupting ratings.
What are the wire size requirements for the KAL26125 terminals?
The standard feed-thru lugs accommodate both aluminum and copper conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 350 kcmil. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation to prevent terminal overheating.
How does the trip unit function on the KAL26125?
It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element, allowing electricians to fine-tune the instantaneous short-circuit response.
Is the KAL26125 suitable for direct current applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is certified for 250VDC systems with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specific industrial DC control circuits.
What safety precautions should be taken before adjusting the magnetic trip settings?
Always de-energize the circuit breaker and verify that power is disconnected before modifying the adjustable magnetic trip settings. Adjustments should only be made by qualified personnel based on a proper coordination study.
