Serving as a robust feeder disconnect, this 250A thermal-magnetic device delivers essential LI protection for commercial facilities. The classic L-frame construction ensures long-lasting durability in demanding environments. The plug-on jaw design installs seamlessly into standard Square D I-Line distribution panels and switchboards. Facilities looking to modernize can transition to the newer PowerPacT J-frame (JJA36250) equivalent. Equipped with a Visi-Trip indicator, it handles 30kA at 480V.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What panelboards and switchboards accept the LA36250?
The Square D LA36250 is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. Its plug-in style connection mounts directly to the proprietary I-Line busbar system.
What is the magnetic trip adjustment range for this 250A breaker?
The LA36250 features an adjustable magnetic, or instantaneous, trip function with a range from 1250A on the low setting to 2500A on the high setting. The thermal overload trip remains fixed at 250 amps.
What wire sizes and configurations are supported by the lugs on the LA36250?
The factory lugs accept a single conductor from 1 AWG to 600 kcmil, or two parallel conductors ranging from 1 AWG to 250 kcmil. The terminals are rated for both aluminum and copper wiring.
Does the LA36250 carry a direct current interrupting rating?
Yes. While typically used in alternating current systems up to 600VAC, this breaker is also rated for 250VDC applications. It delivers a maximum interrupting capacity of 10kAIC at 250VDC.
What does the LI trip function code indicate on this specific L-Frame breaker?
The LI code signifies that the thermal magnetic trip unit provides standard Long-Time overload protection and Instantaneous short-circuit protection. It does not include Short-Time delay or Equipment Ground Fault protection functions.
Is the LA36250 considered a legacy circuit breaker?
Yes, the LA36250 is part of the legacy Square D L-Frame molded case circuit breaker family. These breakers remain in service for existing I-Line installations, though modern system upgrades typically transition to the current PowerPact series.
