Square D HGA36060 Molded Case Circuit Breaker 60A 3P

Product Description

The SQUARE D HGA36060 is a 3-pole, plug-in molded case circuit breaker rated for 60 amps at 600 VAC. It uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism to provide both overload and short-circuit protection, making it a standard choice for branch and feeder circuit protection in commercial and industrial panelboards. The breaker accepts wire sizes from 14 AWG through 3/0 AWG via I-Line or lug terminal connections. Multiple breaking capacity ratings are available within this series, giving installers flexibility across different fault-current environments. Licensed electricians install this breaker as part of a listed panel assembly.

This breaker is designed for use with I-Line Series panelboards and switchboards in commercial and light industrial applications. The plug-in mount type allows for efficient installation and replacement within compatible I-Line enclosures. Typical use cases include motor branch circuits, feeder tap protection, and distribution panel builds where a 3-pole, 600-volt-rated device is required. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism makes it suitable for loads with moderate inrush, such as HVAC equipment, pumps, and general power circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the panelboard before installing or replacing the breaker. Verify that conductor sizing and termination torque comply with the panel manufacturer's instructions and NEC Article 240. Do not exceed the wire size range of 14 AWG through 3/0 AWG at the terminals.
