HGA36100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

HGA36100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

When reliability and performance matter most, the Schneider Electric PowerPacT H-Frame 3-pole 100 Amp circuit breaker (model HGA36100) delivers the protection your electrical system depends on. Engineered for industrial and commercial environments where fault currents and overloads are real risks, this breaker provides solid performance at 600 VAC (and up to 250 VDC) with a breaking capacity of 18 kA. With thermal-magnetic trip technology, intuitive I-Line mounting, and full compliance with global safety and environmental standards, the HGA36100 ensures your distribution setup stays safe, efficient and code-ready.

Key Features and Benefits

• High breaking capacity (18 kA at 600 VAC): Capable of interrupting large fault currents with confidence, giving you maximum protection for your panels and switchboards.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Optimizes protection by combining long-term overload sensing (thermal) with instantaneous short-circuit response (magnetic) — this means you’re covered in both gradual and sudden fault scenarios.
• I-Line terminations on line side: Simplifies installation in compatible panelboard or switchboard systems, reducing labour time and installation error.
• Environmentally conscious design: With RoHS and REACh compliance and the Green Premium label, the breaker supports your facility’s sustainability goals while meeting stringent substance-hazard regulations.
• Easy mounting & maintenance: With standardized dimensions and mounting hardware, this breaker fits seamlessly into many electrical distribution configurations, making upgrades or replacements faster and cleaner.
