JGL36150 - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

JGL36150 - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

With the JGL36150, the conductor and lug details provide useful checkpoints before the breaker even reaches the installation site. This 150A, three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame circuit breaker has lugs on both the line and load sides and uses AL175JD terminals for 4 AWG through 4/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors. The JGL36150 is built to last and is a practical choice when its ratings, lug arrangement, conductor range, and physical dimensions match the requirements of your equipment already in service.

Key Features and Benefits

• 150A, 3-pole configuration: Provides the specified current rating and pole arrangement for compatible distribution equipment.
• Lugs on both ends: Line- and load-side lug connections provide a clearly defined wiring arrangement for replacement and installation planning.
• Thermal-magnetic trip protection: Provides overload and short-circuit protection without relying on an electronic trip unit.
• Defined magnetic characteristics: 1750A magnetic tripping current and 750A magnetic hold current make it easier to verify the required trip characteristics.
• 80% continuous-current rating: Clearly stated for compatibility checks against the intended electrical system.
• Integral push-to-trip: Allows the breaker to be manually tripped using the control built into the cover.

Where It Works Best

The JGL36150 150A circuit breaker is suited to compatible existing and legacy distribution equipment requiring a three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame breaker with line- and load-side lugs. The AL175JD terminals and 4 AWG–4/0 AWG aluminum/copper conductor range are especially important when confirming the connection requirements of an existing installation.
