Engineered for industrial power distribution, the LCL36350 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from Square D's legacy L-Frame series. It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with long-time and instantaneous (LI) functions. This unit mount breaker installs into Square D switchboards and motor control centers. It includes lug terminals for large conductors. For modern upgrades, this frame is replaced by the PowerPact LJL36400U31X.

Product FAQs
8 answers
What equipment is the LCL36350 designed to be installed in?
This unit-mount breaker is engineered for bolt-on installation in legacy Square D switchboards, motor control centers, and standalone enclosures. It is not compatible with I-Line panelboards, which require plug-on mounting.
What is the recommended modern replacement for the legacy LCL36350?
For modern system upgrades, the legacy LCL36350 is replaced by the Square D PowerPacT LJL36400U31X. While the replacement is a 400A frame, its Micrologic electronic trip unit can be adjusted to match the 350A rating of the original breaker.
What are the wire size limits for the standard lugs on the LCL36350?
The standard mechanical lugs accept either a single 1 AWG to 600 kcmil conductor or dual 1 AWG to 250 kcmil conductors per phase. They are rated for both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) wire.
How does the trip adjustability work on the LCL36350?
The breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection. The magnetic element is adjustable, allowing electricians to tune the instantaneous short-circuit trip threshold to coordinate with downstream devices.
What protection functions are included in the LI trip unit?
The LI designation means the breaker provides Long-Time (L) thermal protection for sustained overloads and Instantaneous (I) magnetic protection for immediate clearing of high-level short circuits.
How does the interrupting rating of the LCL36350 scale with system voltage?
The breaker provides extra-high interrupting capacity, delivering 100kAIC at 240VAC, 65kAIC at 480VAC, and 35kAIC at 600VAC, making it suitable for industrial systems with high available fault currents.
Does the LCL36350 require a specific mounting configuration?
Yes, it is a unit-mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It must be bolted directly to the mounting pan or chassis of the switchboard or enclosure, unlike I-Line variants which plug directly into a busbar.
Can the LCL36350 be used in a 240V or 480V system even though it is rated for 600V?
Yes, the 600VAC maximum voltage rating means it is fully compatible with 240VAC, 277VAC, and 480VAC systems. The interrupting capacity (AIC) increases at these lower voltages, providing up to 100kAIC at 240VAC.
