Square D HJA36045 – 45 Amp Molded Case Circuit Breaker, I-Line Plug-In
Designed for heavy-duty commercial systems, the Square D HJA36045 is a 3-pole, 45A PowerPacT H-Frame MCCB providing long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. This 80%-rated breaker mounts into standard I-Line panelboards.
It serves as an ideal upgrade for legacy FA36045, FC36045, and FH36045 models. Featuring a 65 kAIC rating at 480VAC, the current-limiting MCCB uses fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip settings and fully supports reverse feed applications.
