HGL36025 - 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

HGL36025 - 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you’re replacing or matching a breaker in an existing distribution system, the HGL36025 gives you a very specific set of specs to work from. It’s a 25-amp, 3-pole PowerPacT H circuit breaker with a thermal-magnetic trip unit for overload and short-circuit protection. The breaker is rated 18 kA at 600VAC, with additional UL 489 ratings of 35 kA at 480VAC and 65 kA at 240VAC. This version uses mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides, so it’s built for a straightforward unit-mount installation rather than an I-Line setup. Inside, dual-break rotating contacts help limit peak current during fault conditions, and the built-in push-to-trip button gives qualified personnel an easy way to manually trip the breaker during service or testing.

Key Features and Benefits

• 25A, 3-pole configuration: Built for compatible three-pole electrical distribution applications.
• Thermal-magnetic trip protection: Handles both overload and short-circuit conditions without an electronic trip unit.
• Lugs on both sides: Mechanical lugs are provided on the line and load sides for the specified unit-mount setup.
• Dual-break rotating contacts: Help reduce peak current during short-circuit events.
• Push-to-trip button: Gives qualified technicians a simple manual trip function when needed.
• 80% continuous-current rating: Matches applications designed around this duty rating.
• Wide conductor range: AL150HD terminals accept 14 AWG through 3/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
