Product FAQs
8 answers
What wire size do the standard lugs on the MJL36800 accept?
The factory-installed AL800M23K lugs accommodate up to three 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors per phase. The required lug tightening torque is 442.5 lbf-in (50 N.m).
Can the MJL36800 be mounted in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No. The MJL36800 is a unit-mount (feed-thru) breaker designed for individual mounting on a backpan or plate using its line and load lugs. For I-Line panelboards, the I-Line equivalent (MJA36800) is required.
Is the MJL36800 a direct replacement for older MA or MH series breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT M-frame is the modern replacement for obsolete Square D MA36800 and MH36800 circuit breakers. It provides an easy upgrade path, sharing the same dimensions, mounting footprint, and cabling layout.
What does the J in the MJL36800 catalog number indicate?
The J indicates the interrupting capacity tier of the breaker. For this M-frame breaker, the J-rating provides an interrupting rating of 100kA at 240VAC, 65kA at 480VAC, and 25kA at 600VAC.
Is the MJL36800 circuit breaker rated for 100% continuous load?
No, the MJL36800 is a standard 80% rated circuit breaker. For continuous operation, the circuit load should not exceed 640A, which is 80% of its 800A maximum rating.
Can the ET 1.0 trip unit on the MJL36800 be replaced or upgraded in the field?
No, the built-in ET 1.0 electronic trip unit is factory-installed and cannot be field-replaced. It functions as a highly accurate electronic equivalent to a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit.
How is the trip curve configured on the MJL36800?
The breaker provides basic Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. The overload (long-time) setting is fixed at 800A, while the instantaneous magnetic protection is field-adjustable to dial in protection against short circuits.
Does the MJL36800 support field-installable electrical accessories?
Yes, the PowerPacT M-frame supports a wide range of field-installable accessories, including shunt trips, undervoltage releases, alarm switches, and auxiliary switches.
