Description

The LC36300 is a legacy 3-pole molded case circuit breaker manufactured by Square D. Built for heavy-duty applications, it provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection with long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. It mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. For modern replacements, it crosses over to the PowerPact LJA36400U31X, which can be dialed down to 300 amps. Rated for 65 kAIC at 480VAC, this extra-high interrupting capacity breaker handles demanding faults.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the LC36300?

This circuit breaker is designed for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. Its plug-on construction connects directly to the panel bus without requiring separate mounting straps.

What is the purpose of the adjustable magnetic trip on this breaker?

While the fixed thermal element provides continuous overload protection at 300 amps, the adjustable magnetic trip allows licensed electricians to fine-tune the instantaneous short-circuit response. This helps coordinate with downstream breakers and prevents nuisance tripping.

What conductor sizes are supported by the factory lugs?

The standard lugs on the LC36300 accommodate two conductors per phase. They accept either copper or aluminum wire ranging from 4/0 AWG up to 500 kcmil.

Is the LC36300 part of an active or legacy product line?

The LC36300 is part of the legacy Square D L-Frame series. Upgrading to a current generation typically involves a Schneider Electric PowerPact L-Frame equivalent. The manufacturer recommended replacement is the LJA36400U31X, which features a trip unit that can be adjusted down to match a 300A requirement.

Do I need a separate strap kit to mount this breaker?

No. The I-Line design includes integrated plug-on jaws that mate directly to the internal busbar, eliminating the need for bolt-on strap kits or specialized mounting hardware.

How does the breaker stay secured to the panel during a fault?

In addition to the friction of the plug-on jaws, I-Line breakers utilize a captive retaining screw that threads into the panelboard backpan. This ensures the breaker remains safely locked in place under high magnetic forces generated by a short circuit.
