HDA36020 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

HDA36020 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you’re looking for dependable protection of your electrical system, the HDA36020 circuit breaker from the Schneider Electric PowerPacT H series delivers. Built for three‑pole applications at 600 VAC, this breaker offers industry‑leading performance with a 14 kA interrupting capacity at 600 VAC and higher values at lower voltages. With thermal‑magnetic sensing in each pole, it defends your installation from both overloads and short‑circuits — giving you peace of mind that the system will respond when it matters most. The I‑Line mounting simplifies installation in compatible panelboards or switchboards, and the semi‑transparent front cover allows quick visual inspection of breaker status without removing the unit. Whether you’re upgrading an industrial distribution panel or outfitting a commercial switchboard, this breaker brings high‑level protection and flexible configuration options to your system.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal‑magnetic trip technology: Combines overload protection (thermal) with short‑circuit protection (magnetic) to protect your equipment and wiring.
• Semi‑transparent cover: Easily inspect the status of your breaker at a glance without dismounting.
• Field‑installable accessories: Tailor your setup with add‑on options, reducing the need to stock multiple breaker types.
• I‑Line mounting: Engineered for fast, secure installation in compatible panelboards and switchboards — which means less downtime and fewer installation challenges.
• High interrupting capacity: Rated for 14 kA at 600 VAC (and even higher at other voltages), giving you the capacity to protect systems with serious fault potential.
