Square D PGA PowerPacT P Circuit Breaker, 3-Pole, I-Line

The Square D PGA PowerPacT P Circuit Breaker is a 3-pole, 600VAC-rated, I-Line molded-case circuit breaker built to protect electrical distribution systems from overloads and short circuits. This family is available with Motor FLA ratings from 800A to 1000A, giving panel builders and contractors the flexibility to match protection levels to load requirements while keeping a common frame, mounting footprint, and trim dimensions across the range. Every option shares a fixed long-time electronic ET 1.0I trip unit, an 18kA breaking capacity, and 80% rated continuous current application, making the PowerPacT P well suited to demanding commercial and industrial panelboard installations. The I-Line connection and bracket mounting allow common mounting holes, handle locations, and trim dimensions for design standardization, so the same enclosure and busway interface work across the full Motor FLA selection.

Key Features

  • Poles: 3-Pole (3P) configuration for three-phase distribution circuits.
  • Motor FLA Range: Available from 800A to 1000A, selectable to match the connected load while retaining a common I-Line footprint.
  • Operational Voltage: 600 V AC 50/60 Hz (UL 489) rated for demanding commercial and industrial systems.
  • Interrupt Capacity: 18kA breaking capacity for reliable fault protection across the entire family.
  • Trip Unit Technology: Electronic, basic ET 1.0I fixed long-time trip unit for consistent overload and short-circuit protection.
  • Electrical Connection: I-Line connection on the line side with lugs on the load side, mounted via I-Line bracket for standardized panel design.

Square D PGA36080U33A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Square D PGA PowerPacT P breaker bolt into an existing I-Line panelboard or busway?
Yes. The PGA PowerPacT P frame uses an I-Line connection on the line side with an I-Line mounting bracket, so it plugs onto the I-Line bus stabs rather than requiring bolted line cables. Mounting holes, handle location, and trim dimensions are common across the whole 800A to 1000A Motor FLA range, so the same enclosure and busway interface work no matter which rating you pick. Load side is lugs.
2) What size conductors will the PowerPacT P-frame load lugs take?
The load-side lugs accept 4 x AWG 3/0 through 500 kcmil, aluminum or copper, per pole. That means parallel runs are expected at these ratings, so plan your gutter space and bending radius for four conductors per phase.
3) Can I use the Square D PGA breaker on a 600V three-phase system?
Yes. The PGA PowerPacT P is rated 600 V AC, 50/60 Hz under UL 489, in a 3-pole configuration for three-phase distribution. Interrupting capacity is 18 kA, so verify your available fault current at the panel does not exceed that, or you will need a higher AIC frame.
4) What trip unit comes in the Square D PGA breaker, and is it adjustable?
It ships with the electronic ET 1.0I basic trip unit, which is a fixed long-time unit. There is no field-adjustable long-time pickup here, so the Motor FLA rating you order is what you get. If your coordination study calls for adjustable long-time, short-time, or ground fault settings, you need a higher-level electronic trip unit, not the 1.0I.
5) Which part number do I order for an 800A versus a 1000A PowerPacT P I-Line breaker?
Two Motor FLA ratings are offered: 800A is PGA36080U33A and 1000A is PGA36100. Both are 3-pole, 600V, 18 kA, with the same I-Line footprint and trim, so the panel layout does not change between them.
6) If the panel is not an I-Line busway panel, what 3-pole molded case breaker should I look at instead of the PGA PowerPacT P?
The PGA PowerPacT P is built with an I-Line line-side connection and mounts on an I-Line bracket, so it is intended for Square D I-Line distribution equipment. For a 3-pole molded case breaker outside that mounting system, the ABB A2A150TT in the A2 Series and the ABB XT5 3-pole breaker kit (MBM334) are both 3-pole molded case devices that are not tied to the I-Line interface. Confirm the frame size and interrupting rating your panel schedule calls for before swapping.
7) I need a smaller 3-pole breaker for a 400A feeder, not 800A. What is the alternative to the PowerPacT P?
The PGA PowerPacT P family covers 800A to 1000A, so a 400A feeder is below its range. The Eaton Series C K-Frame 6602C72G67 is a 400A 3-pole breaker with an interchangeable rating plug, and the ABB XT4 3-pole kit (MBB33) is another smaller-frame 3-pole molded case option. Match the frame to your panel's mounting and short circuit rating.
8) How much panel space does a 3-pole PowerPacT P breaker need?
Plan on 8.27 in width and 8.05 in depth for the breaker itself. That depth drives your enclosure selection and the clearance behind the dead front, so check it against the panel you are retrofitting before you commit.
9) Is the Square D PGA PowerPacT P breaker acceptable for an inspected commercial job?
It is UL Listed and CSA Certified, NEMA rated, compliant with IEC 60947-2, NOM-003-SCFI-2000 compliant, and carries the CE quality label. The front cover is IP40. It is also suitable for HACR-rated air conditioning and refrigeration circuits. Country of origin is Mexico.
10) What is the difference between an I-Line molded case breaker like the PowerPacT P and a bolt-on branch breaker?
Two different jobs. The PowerPacT P is a large molded-case frame, 800A to 1000A, 600V, that plugs onto I-Line bus for mains and feeder duty in commercial and industrial panelboards. A bolt-on branch breaker such as the Eaton BAB Quicklag 3-pole, rated 240V, bolts to a panel bus for small branch circuits. Do not try to substitute one for the other; the frame size, voltage class, and mounting are not interchangeable.
11) What other 3-pole molded case breakers could I look at instead of the Square D PGA?
If you are not tied to an I-Line panel, other 3-pole molded-case options include the ABB A2A150TT from the A2 Series, and the ABB XT4 and XT5 series 3-pole breaker kits. For a mining or interchangeable-rating-plug application there is the Eaton Series C K-Frame 400A 3-pole. Keep in mind the PGA's I-Line plug-on connection is specific to I-Line panelboards and busway, so a swap to any of these means a different mounting arrangement.
12) I need an undervoltage release for a large molded case breaker. Does the PGA PowerPacT P listing cover that?
No. PGA36080U33A and PGA36100 are complete 3-pole breakers with a toggle operating handle, not accessories. If you are after an undervoltage release, the Eaton 10250T-GR is an undervoltage release for Eaton NZM series molded case breakers. Accessories are frame-specific, so confirm the breaker family before ordering one.
13) What is the difference between the Eaton BAB1010 bolt-on breaker and the Square D PGA PowerPacT P for a panelboard?
The Eaton BAB1010 is a Quicklag thermal-magnetic breaker with a bolt-on mounting for panelboard branch circuits. The PGA PowerPacT P uses an I-Line connection with lugs on the load side and carries an electronic ET 1.0I fixed long-time trip unit with 18kA breaking capacity at 600V. The bolt-on is a branch device; the PowerPacT P is a main or large feeder device on I-Line gear.
14) How do I tell if a PowerPacT P breaker has tripped versus been switched off?
The breaker uses a toggle-style operating handle with local trip indication, including a green indicator, so you can read breaker status at the dead front without opening it up. The unit is also serviceable rather than sealed.
15) Do the Bussmann CBC and CBF automotive breakers overlap with the PowerPacT P at all?
They do not. The Bussmann CBC is a Type I automotive breaker rated 14VDC and the CBF is a Type II automotive breaker, both intended for low-voltage vehicle and equipment circuits. The PGA PowerPacT P is a 600V AC 3-pole molded case breaker for commercial and industrial panelboards. Nothing in the automotive families substitutes for it.
