Square D HGA36150 – 150 Amp Molded Case Circuit Breaker, I-Line Plug-In
The Square D HGA36150 is a heavy-duty, 3-pole thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) engineered for reliable overcurrent protection in commercial and industrial power distribution systems. Part of the PowerPacT H-Frame family, it delivers 150A of continuous protection with fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions, and mounts directly into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
The HGA36150 replaces older KA36150 and KH36150 catalog numbers, giving facilities an in-production, HACR-rated upgrade path without panel modifications. With a 35 kAIC interrupting rating at 480VAC, it provides dependable current-limiting performance for demanding branch and feeder circuits.
