KAL36070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

KAL36070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're tracking down a KAL36070, the part number is only the beginning. The breaker you're replacing also needs to match in amperage, poles, physical size, connections, and interrupting rating. This 70A, three-pole Type KAL molded-case circuit breaker uses thermal-magnetic protection and includes line and load lugs. The KAL36070 is built to last, and for existing or legacy equipment, the best approach is simple: compare these specifications directly with the breaker already installed and confirm form, fit, and function before installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• 70A, 3-pole design: Clearly identifies the amperage and pole configuration for compatibility checks.
• Type KAL: An important designation to confirm when matching a breaker to existing equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Uses the specified thermal-magnetic trip design.
• Line and load lugs included: Both sides are supplied with lugs, reducing guesswork about the connection arrangement.
• 60 Hz operation: Provides a clear frequency specification to compare with the electrical system.
• 40°C rated: Another important detail to check when confirming the correct replacement.

Material Compliance and Certifications

No specific UL, CSA, IEC, RoHS, REACH, or other certification or material-compliance information was provided for the KAL36070. These certifications should not be assumed based on the breaker type or ratings. When a particular approval is required, confirm it for the exact part number before installation.

Where It Works Best

The KAL36070 70A circuit breaker is a practical choice for compatible existing and legacy electrical equipment that requires a three-pole Type KAL molded-case circuit breaker with thermal-magnetic protection. The included line and load lugs are particularly useful identifiers when comparing it with the breaker currently in place.

For replacement work, check more than the 70-amp rating. Confirm the KAL type, three-pole arrangement, lug configuration, physical dimensions, 60 Hz frequency, 40°C rating, and applicable A.I.C. rating against the requirements of the existing equipment. That gives you a much better basis for determining whether the KAL36070 is the correct form, fit, and functional replacement.
