FA36100 **Old Style** 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA36100 **Old Style** 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

Upgrade your power-distribution system with the FA36100 circuit breaker, designed for high-demand commercial and industrial environments where reliable protection matters. With a 100 Amp line rating at up to 600 V and a 3-pole configuration, this breaker uses thermal-magnetic trip technology for fast and precise response to overloads and short circuits. Its I-Line mounting format ensures a secure and straightforward installation in compatible panels, letting your team complete the job quickly and confidently. Built by a trusted manufacturer, this breaker stands ready to help maintain the integrity of your electrical system under heavy use and harsh conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

• High current capacity: Rated for 100 A, this breaker handles demanding loads and helps future-proof your panel for higher-use equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines reliable thermal protection (for sustained overloads) with magnetic protection (for sudden short-circuit events) to deliver dual-mode safety.
• I-Line mounting system: Designed for fast installation in standard I-Line switchboards, reducing labour time and simplifying retrofits or new builds.
• Strong breaking capacity: Offers interruption ratings such as 18 kA at 480 V AC and 25 kA at 240 V AC, providing excellent fault-clearing capability to protect your system.
• Durable build: Constructed for demanding commercial use, this breaker is built to remain in service under rigorous conditions, reducing maintenance and downtime.
