JGL36200 - 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

JGL36200 - 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

Meet the JGL36200, a 200 Amp unit-mount, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker engineered to take on demanding electrical distribution tasks with high reliability. With a 600 V AC rating and an 18 kA interrupting capacity at that voltage, this model delivers the protection your system requires without compromise. Built with a thermal-magnetic trip unit and dual-break rotating contact design, it’s designed to both detect overloads and suppress fault currents with precision. Whether you’re upgrading an industrial panel or configuring new commercial switchgear, the JGL36200 gives you a dependable solution that aligns with today’s code-compliance and performance expectations.

Key Features and Benefits

• High line-rated current of 200 A: matched with a G-code interrupting rating to handle serious fault currents.
• Dual-break rotating contacts: reduce peak current during short circuit faults, giving added protection to the system bus.
• Toggle control with unit-mount lugs: installs easily into existing J-Frame or PowerPact J distribution panels without fuss.
• Thermal-magnetic trip mechanism: combines long-time and instantaneous protection modes to cover overloads as well as sudden fault currents.
• Designed to scale: 600 V AC 50/60 Hz nominal; also suitable for 500 V DC duty in select applications (check configuration).

Where It Works Best

• The JGL36200 is a go-to choice for commercial and industrial electrical distribution panels where reliability matters and space is at a premium. It’s especially suited for three-phase systems in manufacturing plants, large retail facilities, data centers and wherever a 200 A protection point is needed for feeders or branch circuits. Its unit-mount form factor and lug-connect design make it ideal for retrofit installations in existing switchgear using the J-Frame or PowerPact J platform. Because it carries high interrupting capacity at 600 V, it also stands up well in mid-voltage switchboards or in settings where short-circuit potential is high.
