Product FAQs

7 answers
What panels are compatible with the LJA36250U31X breaker?

This breaker features an I-Line mounting style and is designed exclusively for installation in Square D I-Line panelboards and I-Line switchboards.

What does the U31X suffix indicate on this catalog number?

The U31X suffix designates that the breaker is equipped with a MicroLogic 3.3 electronic trip unit. This unit provides adjustable long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions rather than fixed thermal-magnetic protection.

Can I use this 3-pole L-frame breaker on a single-phase system?

Yes, three-pole PowerPacT L-frame breakers with MicroLogic trip units are marked for single-phase use, but only on 240V AC circuits. You can use any two poles for the single-phase connection.

What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the LJA36250U31X?

The mechanical lugs on this breaker will accept one 2 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum wire, or one 2 AWG to 600 kcmil copper wire per terminal.

How does the LJA36250U31X connect to the power source?

It utilizes an I-Line plug-in connection on the line side to mount directly and securely to the panelboard bus, while the load side uses standard mechanical lugs for wire terminations.

Is the LJA36250U31X rated for 80 percent or 100 percent continuous load?

This specific catalog number carries a standard 80 percent continuous current rating.

Does the U31X trip unit on this breaker include ground fault protection?

No, the MicroLogic 3.3 trip unit only provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. It does not include short-time or equipment ground fault sensing capabilities.

    Purchased breaker - Great experience

    We recently needed to purchase a specialty breaker for a large commercial project. Zach, our account manager sprung into action and really made this a white glove experience. From communication to speed I was impressed the entire process. Will definitely be using super breakers for our future breaker needs. Would 1500% recommend!
