HDA36150 - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

HDA36150 - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

The HDA36150 is a 150 Amp, 3-pole circuit breaker from Schneider Electric’s PowerPacT H line. It’s used in compatible I-Line panelboards and switchboards, most often as a replacement for your existing H-frame breaker with the same ratings and mounting style.

Protection is handled by a thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal side responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic side reacts to short-circuit current. Since the trip characteristics are factory set, there are no electronic adjustments to make during installation.
