Product FAQs
7 answers
Can I use the PJA36100U41A in a drawout or unit-mount configuration?
No, the PJA36100U41A features an I-Line style plug-in connection designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It cannot be modified for use in drawout or standard unit-mount applications.
What does the U41A suffix mean on this P-frame breaker?
The U41A suffix designates that the breaker is equipped with a Micrologic 3.0A electronic trip unit. This unit provides adjustable Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection and features an integrated ammeter for current monitoring.
How much mounting space does the PJA36100U41A require in a panel?
As a PowerPacT P-frame I-Line circuit breaker, this unit requires 9 inches of mounting space on the I-Line bussing.
Are the line and load connections identical on this breaker?
No. Because this is an I-Line breaker, the line side features plug-in jaw connections that engage directly with the panel's I-Line bus. The load side is equipped with mechanical lugs that accept field wiring.
What interrupting rating tier does the J in PJA36100U41A represent?
The J indicates Square D's J-tier interrupting performance. In the PowerPacT P-frame family, the J-tier sits above the standard G tier but below the higher-capacity K and L tiers, delivering 65kA of fault protection at 480VAC.
Does the Micrologic 3.0A trip unit include ground-fault protection?
No, the Micrologic 3.0A provides Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection only. If your application requires equipment ground-fault protection, you will need a breaker with a Micrologic 6.0 (LSIG) trip unit.
Is the PJA36100U41A a 100% continuously rated circuit breaker?
No, this breaker carries a standard 80% continuous current rating. Continuous loads should not exceed 800 amps (80% of its 1000A rating) for three hours or more.
