The KAL36200 is a robust 200A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for commercial and industrial environments. It provides essential long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection for critical circuits. Designed for unit-mount configurations, this breaker fits standard Square D enclosures and switchboards. As part of the legacy K-Frame family, it can be upgraded to the PowerPacT J-Frame (JGL36200). Featuring an adjustable magnetic trip, it delivers a 25 kAIC rating at 480VAC.
What standard lug kit is equipped on the KAL36200?
This K-Frame breaker utilizes the AL250KA lug kit as standard equipment [1.1.1]. These lugs accept one aluminum or copper wire per terminal, accommodating wire sizes from 4 AWG to 350 kcmil.
What is the adjustable magnetic trip range for this 200A breaker?
The KAL36200 features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with an adjustable magnetic setting. The instantaneous magnetic trip can be configured from a low hold setting of 1000A to a high trip setting of 2000A.
Is there a modern replacement for the legacy KAL36200?
The KAL series is a legacy K-Frame product. For modern upgrades or replacements requiring a 200A, 25kAIC at 480VAC unit-mount footprint, Schneider Electric designates the PowerPact J-Frame, specifically the JGL36200, as the primary equivalent.
What is the difference between the KAL36200 and KHL36200 breakers?
Both are 200A, 3-pole K-Frame breakers, but they offer different interrupting capacities. The standard KAL36200 provides 25kAIC at 480VAC, while the KHL36200 is the high-interrupting version, delivering up to 65kAIC at 480VAC.
Will the KAL36200 mount directly onto an I-Line panelboard bus?
No. The KAL36200 is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker that requires wire lug connections at both the line and load ends. It does not have the stab-on connectors required for plug-on I-Line panelboard installations.
Can the KAL36200 be utilized in DC power distribution?
Yes. In addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker carries a DC voltage rating of up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC.
Is the KAL36200 rated for air conditioning and refrigeration equipment?
Yes, the KAL36200 is HACR rated. This certification verifies that the breaker provides adequate overcurrent protection for the group motor applications commonly found in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems.
What type of equipment will accept the KAL36200?
As a unit-mount K-Frame breaker, it is designed to bolt directly onto the backpan of standard Square D enclosures, distribution switchboards, and motor control centers that accommodate legacy MCCBs.
