Operating as a vital safety component, the Square D KAL36090 is a 3-pole, 90A molded case circuit breaker. It features fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip elements to provide long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. This unit mount device is engineered to fit into legacy Square D switchboards. When modernizing electrical panels, this K-Frame breaker is replaced by the PowerPacT H-Frame equivalent (HGL36090). Capable of handling 600VAC, it delivers 25 kAIC at 480V.
What is the current replacement for the legacy KAL36090?
For panel upgrades or replacements, this legacy K-Frame breaker is superseded by the Square D PowerPacT H-Frame series, specifically catalog number HGL36090.
What type of panels accept the KAL36090?
This breaker is designed for legacy Square D equipment, including switchboards, motor control centers, and individual enclosures configured for unit-mount K-Frame breakers.
