HGL36015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

HGL36015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

The HGL36015 is a 15-amp, 3-pole PowerPacT H circuit breaker designed for compatible electrical distribution systems that need dependable thermal-magnetic protection. This model uses mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides, so the connection style is easy to identify when you're matching it to an existing installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• 15A, 3-pole design: Made for compatible three-pole distribution applications.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Provides protection against overloads and short circuits without an electronic trip unit.
• Lugs on both sides: Mechanical lugs are provided on the line and load sides for the specified unit-mount configuration.
• Dual-break rotating contacts: Help reduce peak current during short-circuit conditions.
• Push-to-trip button: Allows qualified technicians to manually trip the breaker when required.
• 80% continuous-current rating: Suited to applications designed around this rating.
• Broad conductor range: AL150HD terminals accept 14 AWG through 3/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HGL36015 carries UL, CSA, and NOM certifications and is CE marked. It also references UL, CSA, NEMA, NOM-003-SCFI-2000, and IEC 60947-2 standards. The front cover is rated IP40 under IEC 60529, and the breaker is classified for Pollution Degree 3 under IEC 60947-1.

Where It Works Best

The HGL36015 is a good fit for compatible commercial, industrial, institutional, and facility electrical distribution systems that call for a 15A, 3-pole thermal-magnetic breaker with lugs on both the line and load sides.
It is particularly relevant where the system requires an 18 kA interrupting rating at 600VAC and a unit-mount configuration rather than an I-Line connection. The 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG Cu/Al conductor range also gives installers flexibility when the application and wiring are properly matched.
