Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Does Raptor Supplies offer Square D circuit breakers with higher amperage ratings?

A. Yes, Raptor Supplies offers Square D feed-thru circuit breakers with higher amperage ratings. Customers looking for such circuit breakers can opt for HJL36050, HJL26060 and HJL36070 circuit breakers having amperage ratings of 50, 60 and 70A, respectively.

Q. What factors should I consider while choosing a circuit breaker?

A.

• Load requirements and current rating.
• Voltage compatibility with system.
• Type of protection needed.
• Coordination with downstream devices.
• Environmental conditions and enclosure type.

Q. How do I install this Square D HJL36040 feed thru circuit breaker?

A.

• Turn off power to the circuit.
• Mount the breaker onto the panel.
• Connect incoming and outgoing wires to terminals.
• Tighten terminal connections securely.
• Test breaker functionality by restoring power.
• Close the panel cover to finish installation.

Q. What is the difference between a feed thru circuit breaker and a general purpose circuit breaker?
