Square D | PGA261002 | Circuit Breaker | 1000A | 2-Pole | 600V

The Square D PGA261002 circuit breaker is built for serious, high-demand electrical systems. As a 2-pole molded case circuit breaker rated at 600V and 1000A, it delivers dependable overcurrent protection for heavy feeders and main circuits in industrial and commercial applications. This device is purposefully sized for retrofit, maintenance, and replacement projects where exact specifications are essential, ensuring you don’t compromise on safety or performance.

Key specifications

• Amperage: 1000 A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage: 600 V
• Part number: PGA261002
• Application: maintenance, retrofit, and replacement in compatible Square D panels

Why this solves real problems

In facilities with high-current distribution needs, standard breakers can under-protect or underperform under heavy loads. The PGA261002 provides robust, reliable protection for large feeders and motor circuits, helping prevent damage from overloads and short circuits. By staying within the Square D family, it ensures consistent electrical characteristics, mounting geometry, and trip performance aligned with your existing panel and equipment.

Ideal use cases

• Upgrading aging panels in manufacturing lines that demand consistent 1000 A protection
• Replacing failed or obsolete breakers in high-capacity distribution systems
• Retrofit projects where precise specs (2-pole, 600V) are required for compatibility
• Maintenance on commercial or industrial panels that service heavy machinery and large motors

Compatibility and installation tips

Always confirm fit and ratings before ordering. The PGA261002 part number is the most reliable reference for compatibility with Square D panels and enclosures. When planning a replacement or retrofit, verify the panel catalog’s acceptable frame size, mounting style, and trip characteristics to ensure seamless operation post-installation. Follow standard safety practices and lockout/tagout procedures during installation.
