Engineered for demanding electrical systems, the LA36250-1021 provides 250A of thermal-magnetic protection. This L-frame device comes equipped with a 120-240VAC shunt trip, enabling remote disconnection for enhanced facility control. The breaker mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. When transitioning to newer equipment, substitute this legacy component with the LJA36250U31X. Rated 30kA at 480VAC, it features an adjustable magnetic trip for precise short-circuit tuning.

Product FAQs
7 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the LA36250-1021 circuit breaker?
This I-Line style plug-in breaker is designed for installation in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
What does the -1021 suffix indicate on the LA36250-1021 catalog number?
The -1021 suffix designates that the breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240V AC shunt trip accessory, allowing the breaker to be tripped remotely via an external voltage signal.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the LA36250-1021?
The load-side terminals accept either a single 1 AWG to 600 kcmil aluminum or copper conductor, or two 1 AWG to 250 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors per phase.
Can the LA36250-1021 be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC applications up to 250V DC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kA.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the LA36250-1021?
The thermal-magnetic trip unit features a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection.
How does the LA36250-1021 connect to the busbar?
It utilizes an I-Line style plug-in connection on the line side that engages directly with the panelboard bus assembly, eliminating the need for line-side wire connections.
What breaker frame family does the LA36250-1021 belong to?
It is part of the Square D LA frame family, which falls under the broader L-Frame series of legacy molded case circuit breakers.
