Designed for demanding industrial environments, this 1000A PowerPacT P-Frame breaker offers advanced electronic trip capabilities. The unit mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, utilizing a plug-on design for efficient installation. It features a Micrologic 3.0 trip unit with adjustable long-time and instantaneous settings, providing superior coordination compared to standard thermal-magnetic options.
How much mounting space does the PJA36100U31A require in an I-Line panelboard?
As a PowerPacT P-frame circuit breaker, it utilizes 9 inches of available vertical bus space in a Square D I-Line panelboard or switchboard.
How does the PJA36100U31A connect to the panelboard bus?
This I-Line circuit breaker uses blow-on style plug-on connectors on the line side, allowing it to attach directly to the panelboard bus stack. The load side features mechanical lugs that accept four 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper wires per phase.
Can the trip unit on this breaker be upgraded in the field?
Yes. The PJA36100U31A comes factory-installed with a Micrologic 3.0 standard electronic trip unit. However, PowerPacT P-frame breakers feature interchangeable trip units. This allows you to swap it in the field for a Micrologic unit with advanced metering, communication, or different protection functions without replacing the entire breaker frame.
What do the LI trip functions on the PJA36100U31A provide?
The Micrologic 3.0 electronic trip unit provides adjustable Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) overcurrent protection. The long-time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function protects against immediate short circuits.
Does this specific model include ground-fault protection?
The PJA36100U31A provides Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection only. If your application requires Ground-Fault protection (LSIG), you will need a variant equipped with a Micrologic 6.0 trip unit, such as catalog number PJA36100U44A.
What is the advantage of the I-Line blow-on line connections?
The plug-on I-Line connectors feature a blow-on design where increased magnetic flux from a short circuit causes the jaws to grasp the panelboard bus bars even tighter. This helps maintain a highly secure and stable electrical connection during high-fault conditions.

Help with flood conditions
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

Superbreakers has gotten my company out of a few binds recently. When stock is unavailable at my local supplier I've been turning to Superbreakers to save the day. Great customer service and timely shipments.
