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.
