Square D KHL36000M - 250 A, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Square D KHL36000M is a dependable 250A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker purpose-built for reliable branch circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Engineered for demanding electrical environments, this device delivers consistent overcurrent and short-circuit protection where it matters most—in both new installations and panel upgrades.

Why the KHL36000M stands out

• Compact molded case design maximizes panel space, letting you fit essential protective equipment without crowding the enclosure.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection by responding accurately to both overload and short-circuit conditions, helping prevent nuisance trips and electrical damage.
• 250A, 3-pole configuration is ideal for large feeders and multi‑wire branch circuits, delivering robust protection where high current capacity is required.
• OEM compatibility is engineered to pair with matching Square D load centers and panelboards, ensuring a seamless fit and coordinated protection across your distribution system.
• Versatile applications suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments, making it a practical choice for a wide range of projects.

Specific use cases and real-world scenarios

• Upgrading an aging panel in a commercial space that demands higher protection for large feeders without expanding the enclosure footprint.
• Installing in new construction where a 3-pole, 250A breaker is required to protect a primary circuit feeding multiple downstream loads.
• Replacing a failed breaker in Square D panelboards to restore reliable protection quickly and with minimal installation effort.

Practical guidance for best results

• Verify that the panelboard or load center is designed to accept 3-pole molded case breakers of 250A rating, to ensure proper fit and coordinated protection.
• Follow the manufacturer’s torque specifications and installation guidelines to secure the breaker correctly and maintain performance.
• Plan for coordination with downstream protection devices to optimize fault isolation and minimize unnecessary interruptions.
• Ensure compliance with local electrical codes and standards; use this breaker as part of a compliant, safe electrical distribution system.
