Built for heavy-duty applications, the KAL361251021 delivers 125 amps of protection within Square D's K-Frame architecture. This 3-pole unit-mount breaker is equipped with a factory-installed shunt trip for remote circuit interruption. It mounts seamlessly into compatible Square D motor control centers and enclosures. While succeeded by the PowerPacT HGL36125SA, it remains an essential exact-fit replacement for maintaining existing 600VAC infrastructure.

Product FAQs
4 answers
What does the 1021 suffix indicate on the KAL361251021 breaker?
The 1021 suffix designates a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. This internal accessory allows the circuit breaker to be tripped remotely when a 120V control signal is applied to the coil leads, making it ideal for emergency stop circuits or automated safety shutdowns.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy Square D KAL361251021?
The legacy K-frame series has been superseded by the PowerPact H-frame. The HJL36125SA is a modern equivalent that matches the 125A rating, 3-pole configuration, and includes a factory-installed 120V shunt trip (indicated by the SA suffix). Verify your required interrupting capacity before substituting.
Can I install the KAL361251021 in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No. This is a unit-mount breaker with a feed-thru connection, meaning it uses wire lugs on both the line and load sides. It is intended for use in standard Square D enclosures, switchboards, or motor control centers. For an I-Line panelboard, you would need an I-Line plug-on breaker.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the KAL361251021?
The thermal (long-time) protection is fixed at 125 amps. However, the magnetic (instantaneous) trip function is adjustable, allowing electricians to fine-tune the short-circuit response to coordinate with downstream devices or handle motor inrush currents.
