Square D Molded Case Circuit Breakers

Schneider Electric's Square D Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) are famous for their performance and reliability. They are highly versatile, faring well in all sorts of electric protection schemes. Not every MCCB will be suitable for your specific application. However, ample choices within the Square D line of molded-case circuit breakers should allow you to find a solution that fits the bill.
An extensive series of frame sizes, amperage ratings, and trip unit options make Square D MCCBs suitable for use in varied applications, typical of residential, commercial, and industrial control panels across North American installations. The PowerPact series, which consists of the following frame sizes, is the flagship of the Square D MCCB line: H, J, L, M, and P. Each series was designed with a specific performance and compatibility window in mind and is available with a variety of options to meet the demands of any job or application.

These circuit breakers incorporate trip units that are both electronic and thermal-magnetic. The thermal-magnetic trip unit combines two types of protective technologies: It provides thermal protection against current overloads and short circuits and uses "magnetic latching" to rapidly open the contacts when its magnetic trip threshold is exceeded. The thermal-magnetic circuit breaker offers standardized protection that is robust and reliable. The electronic trip unit is more commonly found in molded-case circuit breakers but is also available in power circuit breakers. It can be configured to offer the levels of reliable protection associated with thermal-magnetic trip units. The MCCBs come in 1-pole, 2-pole, 3-pole and 4-pole designs.
