Does anyone happen to have an SKM library file that includes a Square D "L" frame breaker with the micrologic electronic trip functions (like LD, LG, and LJ breakers)?

My library includes LE and LX breaker with the Micrologic trip functions, but I'm not 100% sure the trip curves would be the same.

They are not even close.

Look in your SKM library for the PowerPact L-Frame series.

For some reason, my library doesn't include that. Lots of Powerpact breakers, but not the L frame. And I have lots of L series breakers, but not the LD, LG, LJ.

You will need to contact SKM for an update to your library. I believe SKM has had library entries for PowerPact L-frame for more than a year.

I had this problem recently too.

In the up-to-date Library, there is a PowerPact L-Frame - you might need to widen the "Type" column to see the full name.

Once you pick the PowerPact with your trip unit, you select the specific flavor back in the component editor window.

My library is still too old. I'll have to settle for using the old fashioned paper graphs until our company buys an updated version.
