Product FAQs
9 answers
Which switchboards and motor control centers are compatible with the RJF36080U31AJK circuit breaker?
This R-Frame unit-mount breaker is designed for installation in Square D QED Switchboards, Power-Style Switchboards, and Model 6 Motor Control Centers.
What protection functions are included with the U31A electronic trip unit?
The U31A designation indicates an electronic trip unit equipped with adjustable Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection functions. This allows for precise overload and short-circuit coordination in commercial and industrial distribution systems.
How is the RJF36080U31AJK installed into a panel or switchboard?
This is a unit-mount circuit breaker, meaning it is designed for direct busbar connection rather than plugging into an I-Line distribution panel. It bolts directly to the bus in compatible switchboards and enclosures.
Can I use this R-Frame breaker to replace an older M-Frame or P-Frame Square D breaker?
No, PowerPacT R-Frame breakers have different physical dimensions, mounting footprints, and bus connections than legacy M-Frame or P-Frame breakers. You must verify that your switchboard or enclosure is specifically designed to accept an R-Frame unit-mount breaker.
Does the RJF36080U31AJK come with mechanical lugs for wire termination?
No, this unit-mount breaker is designed for direct busbar connection and does not include lugs. If you need to terminate cables, you must purchase the appropriate mechanical or compression lug kits separately based on your conductor size and material.
Is the RJF36080U31AJK rated for 100 percent continuous operation?
Standard PowerPacT R-Frame breakers like the RJF36080U31AJK are 80 percent rated. Continuous loads should not exceed 80 percent of the 800A frame rating (640A) in accordance with standard National Electrical Code (NEC) sizing practices.
Can the RJF36080U31AJK be used in systems requiring a 65kA interrupting capacity at 480V?
Yes, this J-interrupting tier R-Frame breaker provides a 65kA interrupting capacity at 480VAC. It is also rated for up to 100kA at 240VAC and 25kA at 600VAC, making it suitable for high-fault commercial and industrial applications.
Does the RJF36080U31AJK include ground-fault protection?
No, the U31A trip unit on this breaker provides Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection only. If your application requires ground-fault protection, you will need a breaker with a different trip unit configuration.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the RJF36080U31AJK?
Yes, the Micrologic electronic trip unit features adjustable dials for both the Long-Time and Instantaneous pickup settings. This allows you to fine-tune the breaker's protection curve to match your specific load and coordination requirements.
