Engineered for commercial and industrial power distribution, the PAF2036 is a 2000A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from Square D's legacy P-frame family. It features fixed thermal and magnetic trip units with long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection functions. This unit-mount breaker installs into Square D switchboards and motor control centers. As an obsolete model, it can be replaced by the modern PowerPact RJF36200U31A using a retrofit kit. Rated 65kAIC at 240VAC.
What type of equipment is the PAF2036 designed to fit?
This legacy P-frame breaker is engineered for installation in Square D switchboards and motor control centers.
Is the Square D PAF2036 still in active production?
No, the PAF series is a legacy molded case circuit breaker family that is no longer manufactured by Square D.
What is the modern replacement for a 2000A PAF-frame breaker?
Because the modern PowerPact P-frame maxes out at 1200A, a 2000A PAF breaker is typically replaced by a PowerPact R-frame breaker, such as the RJF36200U31A, using a retrofit kit.
What protection functions are included in the PAF2036 trip unit?
The breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with LI functions, providing both Long-Time overload protection and Instantaneous short-circuit protection.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the PAF2036?
No, this specific model is built with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip elements, meaning the trip thresholds cannot be field-adjusted.
How is the PAF2036 secured within a switchboard?
It utilizes a unit-mount, bolt-on connection to ensure a rigid and secure installation directly to the buswork.
