JGA36200 - 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

JGA36200 - 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a 200A breaker, the connection arrangement can be just as important as the amperage. The JGA36200 combines a three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame design with an I-Line connection on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side, giving you clear details to compare with the distribution equipment already in service. The JGA36200 is built to last and is well-suited to replacement work, where its electrical ratings, I-Line construction, load-side lug arrangement, and physical dimensions match the existing installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• 200A, 3-pole J-Frame design: Provides the core electrical and frame identifiers needed when checking compatibility with existing distribution equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Provides overload and short-circuit protection using the specified trip technology.
• I-Line line-side connection: Uses an I-Line connection on the line side with mechanical lugs on the load side.
• AL250JD load terminal: Accepts 3/0 AWG through 350 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors.
• Defined magnetic characteristics: Magnetic tripping current is 2000A, with a magnetic hold current of 1000A.
• Integral push-to-trip button: Allows the breaker to be manually tripped from the front.
• 80% continuous-current rating: Provides another specific value to verify against the installation requirements.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The JGA36200 carries a CE mark and is certified to UL, CSA, and NOM standards. Applicable standards listed for the breaker include UL, CSA, NEMA, NOM-003-SCFI-2000, and IEC 60947-2. The front cover is rated IP40, and the specified pollution degree is 3 according to IEC 60947-1. Its stated operating temperature range is -13°F to 158°F (-25°C to 70°C).

Where It Works Best

The JGA36200 is intended for compatible distribution equipment that calls for a 200A, three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame breaker with an I-Line line-side connection and load-side lugs. That combination makes the connection arrangement an especially useful checkpoint when identifying a form, fit, and functional replacement for existing or legacy equipment.
