Product FAQs
6 answers
What panelboards accept the KH36090 circuit breaker?
This K-frame breaker is designed specifically for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It utilizes a plug-on jaw connection that mounts directly to the I-Line bus stack.
What is the direct replacement for the discontinued KH36090?
The legacy K-frame series has been superseded by the PowerPact J-frame. The manufacturer recommended replacement for this 90A I-Line breaker is catalog number JJA36090.
How does the LI trip unit function on this breaker?
The LI designation indicates Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The thermal element provides fixed Long-Time overload protection, while the magnetic element offers an adjustable Instantaneous response to clear short circuits based on your specific coordination requirements.
What type of conductors can be terminated on the KH36090 lugs?
The standard mechanical lugs accept either aluminum or copper (Al/Cu) conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 350 kcmil.
Is this breaker suitable for DC power systems?
Yes, the KH36090 is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, where it provides a 10kA interrupting capacity.
How is the I-Line connection secured during installation?
The breaker utilizes a plug-on jaw design that engages the I-Line bus stack. Once seated, a captive retaining screw on the breaker bracket must be torqued to the panelboard backpan to ensure a secure mechanical hold.
