What does the U43A suffix mean in the PJA36120U43A catalog number?
The U43A suffix indicates that the breaker is equipped with a MicroLogic 5.0A electronic trip unit. This provides adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) protection. The letter A signifies that it includes an integrated ammeter for energy monitoring.
How much panel bus space does the PJA36120U43A require?
As a PowerPacT P-Frame circuit breaker, it requires 9 inches of mounting height on the bus in compatible Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
Which older Square D circuit breakers can the PJA36120U43A replace?
This PowerPacT P-Frame breaker is an ideal drop-in replacement for legacy 1200A Square D MA36120 and MH36120 molded case circuit breakers in I-Line applications.
What type of line and load connections does this breaker feature?
The line side features an I-Line style plug-in connection that mounts directly to the panel bus. The load side includes factory-installed mechanical lugs designed to accept four 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper wires per phase.
Is the PJA36120U43A an 80% or 100% rated circuit breaker?
The PJA36120U43A is a standard 80% rated molded case circuit breaker, meaning it is designed to carry up to 80% of its 1200A capacity continuously.
How does the PJA series differ from the PGA and PLA series?
The second letter in the catalog prefix denotes the interrupting rating tier of the PowerPacT P-Frame family. The PJA features a J-tier interrupting rating, which provides higher fault current protection than standard PGA models, but lower capacity than the high-tier PLA versions.
