Engineered for industrial applications, the Square D LAL36125 provides robust overcurrent defense. This 3-pole, 125A breaker delivers dependable LI protection for heavy-duty systems. Featuring a unit-mount configuration, it integrates easily into Square D enclosures and switchboards. For modern upgrades, this legacy L-Frame is replaced by the PowerPact LJL36125. Rated for 600VAC, it offers a 22 kAIC capacity at 600V. It includes line and load lugs and carries a HACR rating.
What enclosures and panels are compatible with the LAL36125?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for use in Square D industrial enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers. It is not designed for standard load centers or panelboards that require plug-on or I-Line connections.
What is the difference between the Square D LAL and LHL circuit breakers?
Both are legacy L-Frame unit-mount breakers, but the LHL series features a higher interrupting capacity than the standard LAL series. Ensure your system fault current requirements match the breaker ratings before installing.
What is the magnetic trip adjustment range for the LAL36125?
The adjustable magnetic trip on this 125A breaker can be set between 625A (Low) and 1250A (High). This allows electricians to tune the instantaneous trip point for motor inrush currents or selective coordination.
Is the LAL36125 rated for DC voltage applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings up to 600VAC, this breaker is rated for 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10kA. This makes it suitable for specific industrial DC control circuits or battery systems.
Can the LAL36125 accept dual wires in its lugs?
Yes, the standard lugs on this breaker can accept either a single wire from 1 AWG to 600 kcmil or two wires from 1 AWG to 250 kcmil. Both aluminum and copper conductors are supported.
How should I determine the correct lug torque for the LAL36125?
Torque specifications vary based on the exact wire size and material used. Always refer to the manufacturer label on the side or front of the breaker for the precise torque values required for a safe and compliant installation.
Is the Square D LAL36125 an obsolete breaker?
The LAL series is a legacy L-Frame breaker. While it is no longer the primary current generation model, it is still widely available for replacements. For modern upgrades, Schneider Electric replaces this frame with the PowerPact L-Frame series, such as the LJL36125.
Can I replace an LAL36125 directly with a PowerPact L-Frame breaker?
The PowerPact L-Frame, like the LJL36125, is the modern replacement for legacy LAL breakers. However, because the physical dimensions and mounting configurations differ, you may need retrofit hardware or a different enclosure mounting pan to complete the upgrade.
What does the Push-to-Trip button on the LAL36125 do?
The Push-to-Trip feature allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the tripping mechanism without exposing yourself to live parts or requiring an actual overcurrent event.
