How can we help you today?
Can Powerpact circuit breakers be used in existing or older I-Line panelboards or switchboard distribution sections?
Issue:
Old I-Line style panelboards or switchboard distribution sections, accept the new Powerpact frame breakers

Product Line:
Panelboards / Switchboards

Environment:
I-Line panelboards and switchboard distribution sections sold in North America

Cause:
Product features.

Resolution:
Schneider Electric/Square D evaluated the construction of existing I-Line Panelboards and Switchboards and previously manufactured and installed Panelboards and Switchboards and has confirmed they are the same in basic construction.
Further evaluation shows the use of I-Line circuit breakers with the prefix H, J, L, Q (240V max), MG, MJ, P and R frame to be acceptable for installation and use within these existing Panelboards and Switchboards previously installed in the field.
Care should be taken that voltage and AIC ratings match, are confirmed and compatible between the circuit breaker and the electrical equipment.
