Built for demanding industrial applications, the MH36800 is an 800-amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from Square D. It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic settings to protect against overloads. Designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, this breaker utilizes a specialized plug-on mounting style. For modern upgrades, this legacy M-frame unit is replaced by the MJA36800 electronic trip breaker. Rated 65 kAIC at 480V.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What type of panelboard accepts the MH36800 circuit breaker?
The MH36800 is engineered exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. Its specialized plug-on connection requires a compatible I-Line bus stack and cannot be installed in standard NEMA bolt-on enclosures or standard load centers.
How much panel space is required to mount the MH36800?
As a legacy M-Frame circuit breaker, the MH36800 requires 9 inches of vertical mounting space on an I-Line panelboard bus stack.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy Square D MH36800?
The legacy thermal-magnetic MH36800 is directly upgraded to the modern PowerPacT M-Frame series, specifically the MJA36800 electronic trip breaker. The MJA36800 maintains the same 800-amp capacity, I-Line mounting footprint, and matching 65kA at 480V interrupting rating.
What wire sizes are supported by the MH36800 load terminals?
Equipped with AL900MA lugs, this breaker accepts three 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors per phase. Installers must verify that the enclosure provides adequate wire bending space for an 800-amp multi-conductor run.
Does the MH36800 require external hardware to secure it to the panel?
No additional electrical mounting hardware is needed. The I-Line breaker jaws plug directly onto the bus stack, while a built-in mounting foot on the back of the breaker bolts directly to the panelboard's mounting pan for mechanical stability.
How is the trip unit adjusted on the MH36800?
This breaker features a fixed thermal rating for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic dial on the faceplate for instantaneous short-circuit protection. The magnetic dial must be set by a qualified professional to align with the facility's specific coordination study.
