HDL36100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

HDL36100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric PowerPacT H-Frame Circuit Breaker HDL36100 delivers reliable, high-capacity protection for your demanding electrical applications. Rated for 100 amps and designed for 600 VAC (UL) / 690 VAC (IEC) service, this three-pole breaker features dual-break rotating contacts that significantly reduce peak short-circuit current — helping protect your system from damaging fault events. A semi-transparent front cover offers visual verification of status, and a built-in push-to-trip button allows manual testing and operation for added safety and convenience. Whether you’re specifying a new installation or upgrading an existing panel, the HDL36100 combines flexibility, performance and eco-conscious design to meet industrial, commercial and multi-family electrical system needs.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic protection: Protection on each pole ensures dependable circuit sensing — meaning the breaker trips quickly for overloads or short circuits, giving you greater peace of mind.
• High interrupting capacity: 14 kA at 600 VAC makes the unit suitable for demanding environments where fault currents may be elevated.
• Flexible installation options: Snap-in terminals and field-installable accessories permit conversion between busbar and lug mounting, offering contractors and designers convenience and adaptability.
• Semi-transparent front cover: Lets you easily verify contact position and status at a glance, streamlining inspection and maintenance tasks.
• Manual push-to-trip button: Gives you on-site functionality for testing or reset without dismantling equipment, enhancing usability.
• Environmentally conscious design: Labelled Green Premium™, and fully compliant with RoHS and REACh regulations — allowing you to source equipment with less environmental burden.
