Can the MJA36800 be used to replace older Square D MA or MH frame circuit breakers?

How much mounting space does the MJA36800 require in an I-Line panelboard?

Is the Square D MJA36800 circuit breaker 100% rated for continuous current?
No, this breaker has a standard 80% continuous current rating. It is not listed for 100% continuous operation.
Does the MJA36800 come with line and load lugs?
Because it is an I-Line circuit breaker, the MJA36800 features plug-on jaw connections on the line side for snapping directly onto the panel bus. Standard mechanical lugs are only provided on the load side.
What does the "J" in the MJA36800 catalog number signify?
The "J" indicates Square D's J-level interrupting capacity. For this frame size, it provides a 100kA rating at 240V, 65kA at 480V, and 25kA at 600V.
What type of trip unit adjustments are available on the MJA36800?
The MJA36800 features an electronic trip unit with a fixed Long-Time pickup and an adjustable Instantaneous pickup. This allows you to tune the short-circuit magnetic trip threshold to suit your specific application needs.
What does the "A" in the MJA36800 catalog number indicate?
In the PowerPacT nomenclature, the "A" specifies an I-Line plug-on configuration. If you need a unit-mount version of this breaker with lugs on both ends, you would need the MJL36800 model instead.
