Delivering exceptional short-circuit protection, the LA3100PR is a 100A, 3-pole current limiting molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic settings for precise control. Designed for legacy applications, this breaker mounts into older Westinghouse panelboards and motor control centers. It ensures seamless integration for facilities maintaining older L-frame equipment. It features an impressive 200kAIC rating at 600VAC.

Product FAQs
5 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the LA3100PR circuit breaker?
The LA3100PR is a bolt-on, unit-mount L-frame breaker designed for legacy Westinghouse panelboards and high-AIC switchboards. It is also compatible with older Cutler-Hammer and Eaton L-frame distribution equipment.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the LA3100PR lugs?
The standard lugs accept either a single 1 AWG to 600 kcmil conductor or dual 1 AWG to 250 kcmil conductors per phase. The terminals are rated for both aluminum and copper wiring, making the dual-wire option ideal for parallel runs.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip work on the LA3100PR?
The breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for 100A continuous overload protection. The instantaneous magnetic trip is adjustable, allowing electricians to fine-tune the short-circuit response to coordinate with downstream devices or handle motor inrush currents without nuisance tripping.
What does the PR suffix indicate on the LA3100PR breaker?
The PR suffix designates this as a Westinghouse Tri-Pac current-limiting circuit breaker. It utilizes internal current limiters to achieve a massive 200kAIC interrupting capacity at 480VAC, providing ultra-fast clearing of severe short circuits to protect downstream equipment.
Is the Westinghouse LA3100PR still in active production?
No, the original Westinghouse LA-frame series is a legacy product and is no longer manufactured. However, exact replacements are available to maintain existing panelboards and switchboards without requiring a complete system retrofit.
