What type of trip unit is installed in the Square D MJL36400?
This breaker features an ET 1.0 electronic trip unit. It provides a fixed long-time (overload) setting and an adjustable instantaneous (short-circuit) trip function, allowing for precise coordination in your electrical system.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the MJL36400?
The factory-installed lugs accept one aluminum or copper conductor per phase, ranging from 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil.
What types of equipment is the MJL36400 compatible with?
This PowerPacT M-frame breaker is designed for use in Square D switchboards, motor control centers, and industrial control panels. It is a unit-mount breaker, meaning it bolts directly to the backpan rather than plugging into a bus system.
Does the MJL36400 include a push-to-trip feature?
Yes, it includes an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism before energizing the circuit.
Is the MJL36400 rated for 80 percent or 100 percent continuous current?
This breaker carries a standard 80 percent continuous current rating.
Can I install the MJL36400 in an I-Line panelboard?
No, the MJL36400 is a unit-mount (feed-thru) breaker designed for base mounting with lugs on both the line and load sides. For an I-Line panelboard, you need the plug-on I-Line version of the PowerPacT M-frame.
Can I add field-installable accessories to the MJL36400?
Yes, the PowerPacT M-frame supports a variety of field-installable internal accessories. Shunt trips, undervoltage releases, and auxiliary switches can be installed under the front accessory cover.
Where can I find the correct lug torque specifications for the MJL36400?
The required torque values for the wire binding screws are printed directly on the breaker faceplate or the lug itself. Always use a calibrated torque wrench to ensure proper connections and prevent thermal issues.
What does the J in the MJL36400 catalog number signify?
The J indicates the breaking capacity code for this PowerPacT M-frame breaker. It signifies an interrupting rating of 100kA at 240VAC, 65kA at 480VAC, and 25kA at 600VAC.
