Engineered for commercial and industrial power distribution, this 3-pole, 250A molded case circuit breaker belongs to the legacy Square D L-Frame series. It provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) thermal-magnetic trip functions. Designed for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, it utilizes a plug-on I-Line mounting style. This legacy breaker is replaced by the JGA36250, which requires an HNM1BL filler plate. Rated for 35kAIC at 480VAC, it includes a push-to-trip mechanism.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What is the difference between the Square D LA36250 and LH36250 circuit breakers?
Both are 250A, 3-pole legacy L-frame breakers, but the LH36250 features a higher interrupting capacity. The LH36250 is rated for 35kA at 480VAC, while the standard LA series has a lower short-circuit current rating.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy LH36250 circuit breaker?
The LH36250 is a legacy L-frame breaker that has been replaced by the PowerPact J-frame series, specifically the JGA36250. When upgrading to the JGA36250 in an existing I-Line panelboard, an HNM1BL filler plate is required to properly fit the panel space.
What is the magnetic trip range for the LH36250 circuit breaker?
The LH36250 features a fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip unit. The instantaneous magnetic trip can be adjusted between 1250A and 2500A to coordinate with specific system fault requirements.
How can I manually test the mechanical operation of the LH36250?
The breaker includes a built-in push-to-trip button on the front face. Pressing this button manually trips the breaker mechanism without exposing the operator to live electrical parts, allowing for safe verification of the mechanical linkage.
How does the LH36250 connect to the panelboard bus?
The LH36250 utilizes a plug-on I-Line connection on the line side, which snaps directly onto the panel bus assembly. The load side uses standard mechanical lugs for wire termination. It is designed specifically for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
Can I use the LH36250 in a standard unit-mount enclosure?
No. The LH36250 is an I-Line style plug-on breaker designed exclusively for I-Line panelboards and switchboards. For a unit-mount application, you would need the LHL36250, which features lugs on both the line and load sides.
