Product FAQs

6 answers
What does the U31A suffix indicate on the PGL36080U31A?

The U31A suffix specifies that the breaker is equipped with a Micrologic 3.0 electronic trip unit. This provides adjustable long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions for precise coordination.

What is the lug configuration for the PGL36080U31A?

This breaker comes with factory-installed lugs that accommodate up to three conductors per phase. Each lug accepts 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper wire.

Does this breaker plug into an I-Line panelboard?

No. The PGL36080U31A is a unit-mount breaker, meaning it bolts directly to the backpan or bus. It does not have the jaw connections required for I-Line plug-on panelboards.

How does the PGL series differ from PJL or PKL breakers?

The third letter in the catalog number designates the interrupting rating. The PGL features a G-rated interrupting capacity, whereas PJL (J-rated) and PKL (K-rated) models offer higher short-circuit interrupting ratings within the same 800A P-Frame footprint.

What does the LI trip function code mean on this Micrologic 3.0 breaker?

The LI designation indicates that the electronic trip unit provides adjustable Long-time (L) and Instantaneous (I) overcurrent protection. It does not include Short-time or Ground-fault protection.

Can I install this 800A breaker in a standard Square D NF or NQ panelboard?

No. The PGL36080U31A is a large P-Frame breaker and is not compatible with standard NF or NQ lighting panelboards. It is designed for larger distribution equipment like P-Frame enclosures, QED switchboards, and Model 6 Motor Control Centers.
