Product FAQs

8 answers
How much bus space does the PJA36080U31A require in an I-Line panel?

As a PowerPacT P-frame breaker, it requires 9 inches of mounting space on the bus of a Square D I-Line panelboard or switchboard.

What electronic trip unit is included with the U31A suffix?

The U31A designation indicates the breaker is equipped with a standard Micrologic 3.0 electronic trip unit. This provides adjustable Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection but does not include Short-Time or Ground Fault features.

Is the PJA36080U31A rated for 100% continuous duty?

No, this breaker is standard-rated for 80% continuous duty. For applications requiring a 100% continuous current rating, a different catalog number featuring a 'C' designation is required.

What type of load-side terminals are provided?

This 800A breaker includes mechanical lugs on the load side. These lugs accept three 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors per phase. The line side utilizes the standard I-Line plug-on jaw connection.

Can this I-Line circuit breaker be reverse-fed?

No. I-Line breakers feature a specialized plug-on jaw assembly on the line side that attaches directly to the panelboard bus. Because of this directional mounting design, they cannot be reverse-fed.

What does the PJA catalog designation indicate?

The 'P' signifies the PowerPacT P-frame size. The 'J' represents the specific interrupting rating tier (100kA at 240V, 65kA at 480V, 25kA at 600V), and the 'A' specifies the I-Line plug-on mounting style.

How do I adjust the settings on the Micrologic 3.0 trip unit?

The Micrologic 3.0 features rotary dials on the front of the trip unit. A qualified electrician can use a small screwdriver to adjust the Long-Time pickup, Long-Time delay, and Instantaneous pickup settings to properly coordinate with downstream devices.

What safety procedures are required before installing or servicing this breaker?

Installation and maintenance must only be performed by qualified electrical personnel. Verify that all power to the I-Line switchboard or panelboard is disconnected and locked out following standard OSHA lockout/tagout (LOTO) protocols before inserting or removing the breaker.

    The whole process with Technitrol was Awesome. Jim the owner was extremely helpful he caught some problems with one of the breakers that I didn't notice very helpful. James and Collin were great also. The whole company really step up helping me determine what path I should take to replace/refurbish breakers that went through a flood. I never experienced a flood like this they were an awesome resource and help to me and my employer the City of Wauwatosa
