PHF2036 - 2000 Amp Max. *Frame ONLY*

Discover the flexibility and reliability of the Square D PHF2036 frame-only unit—a high-capacity industrial breaker frame engineered to serve as the foundation for a custom protection system. This frame accepts compatible trip units (thermal, magnetic, or combined) so you can tailor the protection to your specific load, fault current, and system requirements. Whether you're upgrading switchgear, retrofitting an existing panel, or building heavy-duty distribution equipment, the PHF2036 gives you the blank canvas you need to develop robust protection architecture.

Key Features & Benefits

• Modular Design for Customization: Because you're starting with the frame only, you get complete freedom to choose the trip unit that matches your application—no unnecessary features, just precisely what you need.
• High Current Capacity: Supports up to 2000 A, making it suitable for heavy industrial power distribution roles.
• Excellent Interrupting Capability: Designed to work with high-interrupting rated systems (e.g., 65 kA at 600 V or higher) to handle short circuits without damage.
• Durable Construction: Built from premium materials and engineered for demanding environments—expect long life even under heavy use.
• Streamlined Serviceability: Its modular layout makes maintenance and upgrades faster, minimizing downtime during servicing or replacement of components.

Where It Works Best

• Industrial Plants & Factories: Ideal as a backbone breaker frame for heavy machinery, motor control centers, or central distribution systems.
• Data Centers & Critical Facilities: Use as a main or feeder frame to secure IT systems from overcurrents — then pair it with your desired trip logic for fine-grained protection.
• Utility & Energy Infrastructure: Strong choice for distribution panels, substation feeders, or energy conversion sites where you need high flexibility.
• Commercial / Institutional Construction Projects: When building new electrical rooms or retrofitting large buildings, this frame gives your design engineers the flexibility to specify protection without oversizing.
