HJL36070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

HJL36070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

Meet the HJL36070 from the PowerPacT H-Frame lineup — your go-to solution when you need dependable circuit protection with industrial-strength performance. Rated at 70 amperes and built to handle a breaking capacity of up to 25 kA at 600 VAC, this breaker delivers solid overload and short-circuit protection using a thermal-magnetic trip unit. Whether in a motor control center, switchboard, or a demanding commercial distribution panel, the HJL36070 stands ready to protect your system with consistent performance and peace of mind.

Key Features and Benefits

• High performance protection: Offers up to 25 kA at 600 VAC (65 kA at 480 VAC, 100 kA at 240 VAC) so you know it’s built for heavy duty fault conditions.
• Three-pole, unit-mount design: Easy to integrate into your panelboard or MCC setup; lug connections on both line and load sides give you installation flexibility.
• Advanced short-circuit handling: Equipped with dual-break rotating contacts, reducing peak current during a fault event and thereby increasing the lifespan of your wiring and downstream devices.
• Precision thermal-magnetic trip unit: Provides accurate detection of both long-term overloads and instantaneous short circuits, giving you dual layer protection in one device.
• User-friendly sizing: With a physical profile of 6.42" (H) × 4.09" (W) × 3.39" (D) and a weight of 4.85 lb, it fits into standard H-Frame spaces without fuss.
