Square D LJ-8198 Circuit Breaker

Square D by Schneider Electric LJ-8198 circuit breaker is a 240-volt, 60-amp, 3-pole protective device designed for three-phase electrical distribution. This unit is part of the LJ family in Square D's I-Line lineup, a family of circuit breakers optimized for use in panelboards and distribution applications where a compact, common-trip solution is required. The LJ-8198 provides full three-pole protection, simultaneously disconnecting all three phases when an overcurrent condition or fault is detected, helping safeguard wiring, motors, and other equipment connected to a 3-phase load. With a 60-amp rating, it is intended for circuits that demand moderate protection for feeders or branch circuits in commercial and light industrial environments that operate at 240 V three-phase service. As a Square D device, it is designed to integrate with compatible Square D enclosures and panel systems that support LJ-series breakers, and it adheres to the brand's safety and performance standards for low-voltage protection. The three-pole design simplifies wiring and enhances coordination in multi-phase installations, reducing the risk of shared faults and ensuring that a fault on one phase does not leave other phases energized. This model is uniquely identified by its LJ-8198 designation, differentiating it from other amperage or pole configurations within the LJ family, ensuring you select the correct protection for your 240 V three-phase circuit.
