Delivering robust current-limiting capabilities, this 400A three-pole breaker protects commercial and industrial distribution systems. It installs into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, utilizing a plug-on phase connection for rapid deployment. Featuring a thermal-magnetic trip unit with adjustable instantaneous settings, it provides 200kAIC interrupting capacity at 480VAC. Note that this legacy L-Frame model is officially replaced by the PowerPacT LRA36400U31X series.

What panelboards are compatible with the LI36400 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It utilizes a plug-on phase connection that mounts directly to the I-Line bus.
What wire sizes and materials do the lugs on the LI36400 accept?
The standard lugs on this breaker accommodate two 4/0 AWG to 500 kcmil conductors per phase, and they are rated for both aluminum and copper wire.
How does the trip unit function on the LI36400?
It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection.
Is the LI36400 a current production model?
The LI36400 is a legacy L-frame circuit breaker. In newer installations, it is typically replaced by the Square D PowerPacT L-frame series, though it remains widely used for maintaining existing I-Line panelboards.
What does the 200kAIC rating at 480V indicate for this breaker?
The 200kAIC rating means this breaker is highly current-limiting and can safely interrupt up to 200,000 amps of fault current at 480VAC, making it suitable for industrial systems with high available fault currents.
