HDA36150 - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

HDA36150 - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

The HDA36150 150 Amp, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker by Schneider Electric (PowerPact H-Frame series) delivers dependable protection for your commercial or industrial electrical system. With a 150 A rating and high fault-current interrupt capability, it helps safeguard critical equipment from both overload and short-circuit damage. The I-Line mounting design streamlines installation and service, making it an installer-friendly choice that supports both safety and efficiency.

Key Features and Benefits

• High fault-current interrupt rating: Capable of interrupting up to 14 kA at 600 VAC (and higher at lower voltages) so it stands up to demanding fault-conditions.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines long-time protection against overloads with instantaneous protection against short-circuits for real-world reliability.
• Easy I-Line installation: The I-Line plug-in bracket and compatible bus-bar or lug options let you install or maintain the breaker with less downtime.
• Manual trip button: A built-in push-to-trip button gives you manual control of the breaker, useful during commissioning or maintenance.
• Designed for industrial conditions: Built to handle 50/60 Hz networks, up to 690 V AC in certain standards and a wide range of fault-levels, making it a solid fit across global applications.

Where It Works Best

• If you’re specifying motor control centres, distribution panels or branch-circuit protection in heavy commercial or light industrial settings, this breaker is a solid choice. It’s particularly well-suited for situations where higher fault-current interrupt capability is required, or where ease of service is a priority (thanks to the I-Line mounting). Global projects benefit too, thanks to its wide voltage/frequency coverage and international compliance.
