The Square D HJA36040 is a 3-pole, 40A, 600V, 25kA moulded-case circuit breaker in the HJA frame (I-Line plug-in). I-Line breakers are designed to mount in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards — they are not interchangeable with QO or Homeline residential loadcentres. The HJA frame is a 250A-rated frame, making this breaker well-suited for branch and feeder protection in industrial and commercial distribution equipment rated at 600V.
Specific I-Line panelboard compatibility depends on busbar rating and enclosure configuration. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm fit.
No. The I-Line plug-in system uses a different bus-stab and mounting mechanism than Square D's QO series. The HJA36040 is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards rated for 600V industrial use. It cannot be installed in QO or Homeline residential loadcentres.
Sourcing availability can vary. Northern Breaker Group specialises in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, so even if the HJA36040 has been discontinued or has long lead times, we are often able to locate verified stock. Contact our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters or request a quote online for current availability.
The 25kA (symmetrical) interrupting rating is the maximum fault current the HJA36040 can safely interrupt at 600V. For most light industrial and commercial distribution systems this is adequate, but larger facilities or installations close to utility transformers may require a higher AIC rating. We recommend verifying the available fault current at your panel before selecting this breaker — our team can assist if needed.
