Product FAQs

6 answers
Is the Square D MAL36900 still in active production?

The MAL36900 is a legacy M-Frame circuit breaker and is considered obsolete by the manufacturer. For modern equivalents or panel upgrades, Schneider Electric has replaced this line with the PowerPacT M-Frame and P-Frame circuit breaker series.

Can the MAL36900 be reverse-fed?

Yes, standard Square D thermal-magnetic circuit breakers like the MAL36900 do not have specific Line and Load markings, meaning they can be safely backfed for use as a main breaker in compatible panel applications.

What is the recommended lug torque for the MAL36900?

When using the standard AL900MA mechanical lug kit for this breaker, which accepts three 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil conductors, the manufacturer specifies a tightening torque of 300.9 lb-in (34 N.m).

How does the trip unit operate on the MAL36900?

This breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) functions. It features a fixed thermal element for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for short-circuit protection.

Can the MAL36900 circuit breaker be used on direct current (DC) systems?

Yes, in addition to alternating current applications up to 600VAC, this breaker is rated for use on 250VDC systems with a 14kA interrupting capacity.

Will this breaker plug into an I-Line panelboard?

No, the MAL36900 is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It is designed to be bolted directly to the chassis in Square D switchboards and motor control centers rather than plugging onto an I-Line bus.
