Providing robust overcurrent protection for industrial facilities, the Square D KCL34150 is a 150A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic settings to deliver precise long-time and instantaneous (LI) defense. This unit-mount K-Frame breaker integrates seamlessly into compatible Square D panelboards and switchboards. Rated for 65 kAIC at 480VAC, this legacy model is succeeded by the PowerPacT J-Frame series.

Product FAQs
4 answers
How is the KCL34150 installed in a panelboard or switchboard?
This is a unit-mount circuit breaker. It bolts directly to the mounting pan or chassis of compatible Square D enclosures, switchboards, and panelboards, rather than plugging directly into a busbar system.
What adjustability does the trip unit on this K-frame breaker offer?
The breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element. This allows installers to modify the instantaneous short-circuit trip threshold to suit specific load requirements.
What are the conductor requirements for the standard lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed lugs are rated for both aluminum and copper wire. They accept conductor sizes ranging from 4 AWG to 350 kcmil. Always apply the manufacturer-specified torque when terminating connections.
Is the KCL series still the standard for new Square D installations?
No, the KCL34150 is part of the legacy K-frame molded case circuit breaker family. Modern Square D installations typically utilize the PowerPact series, but this legacy breaker remains essential for direct replacements in existing infrastructure without requiring extensive retrofits.
