Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Square D HJA260201?
The HJA260201 is a 20-amp, 2-pole, 600V thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from Square D (Schneider Electric). It uses an I-Line plug-in connection style for compatibility with Square D I-Line panelboards.
What does I-Line plug-in mean on a circuit breaker?
I-Line is a Square D proprietary bus connection system that allows circuit breakers to plug directly into the panelboard bus bar without separate lugs or connectors, enabling faster installation and replacement.
What is the interrupting rating of the HJA260201?
The HJA260201 has an interrupting rating of 100kA at 240V AC, 65kA at 480V AC, 25kA at 600V AC, and 20kA at 250V DC.
What trip functions does the HJA260201 have?
It features LI (Long Time and Instantaneous) trip functions — providing thermal protection against overloads and magnetic protection against short-circuit faults.
Is the HJA260201 UL listed?
Yes, Square D molded case circuit breakers in the HJA series are built to UL 489 standards for molded case circuit breakers.
