HGA36070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

HGA36070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

Meet the Schneider Electric HGA36070 PowerPacT H 70 Amp circuit breaker — a high-performance protection device built to safeguard your commercial or industrial electrical system with confidence. This three-pole breaker is rated at 70 A and offers a breaking capacity of 18 kA at 600 VAC, ensuring your equipment remains shielded from serious short-circuit events. With thermal-magnetic trip technology, it detects both overloads and rapid fault currents, giving you dependable performance when it matters most. Designed to mount easily in I-Line panelboards, it’s a smart fit for demanding installations where safety and reliability are non-negotiable.

Key Features and Benefits

• High interrupting capacity: Capable of clearing up to 18 kA at 600 VAC (plus 35 kA at 480 VAC, 65 kA at 240 VAC) — so your system has strong protection against severe faults.
• Thermal-magnetic trip: Offers dual protection—thermal element for overloads, magnetic for short-circuit — which means fewer surprises, lower downtime, and greater peace of mind.
• I-Line mounting design: Engineered for easy installation in compatible panelboards and switchboards. The I-Line construction simplifies wiring, maintenance and replacement.
• Three-pole configuration: Ideal for three-phase applications — a versatile choice for industrial or commercial mains, branch loads or motor protection.
• Durable build for tough jobs: This breaker is built to handle real-world electrical environments and deliver consistently under load.
