The Eaton BKG2G100 main breaker kit is rated for 100A at 480VAC. Its interrupting rating is 35kAIC, and it features a PDG23G breaker with 2 poles. Phase ratings are 1 and 3, and approvals include UL and NEMA.
How should I use the 100A rating when selecting the Eaton BKG2G100?
The 100A rated current is the starting point for matching the breaker to the circuit load. Coordinate breaker selection with calculated load, conductor ampacity and applicable installation requirements.
What does the 480VAC rating mean for circuit selection?
The Eaton BKG2G100 has a 480VAC voltage rating. Compare this rating with the circuit's AC voltage to ensure the operating voltage does not exceed the breaker rating.
How do I evaluate the 35kAIC interrupting rating?
The 35kAIC interrupting rating describes the breaker's fault-current interruption capability. Compare it with the available fault current at the installation point; the available fault current must not exceed the applicable interrupting rating.
What does the two-pole construction mean for circuit planning?
The Eaton BKG2G100 has two poles, meaning the breaker interrupts two circuit conductors. For circuit planning, use pole count to determine the number of conductors interrupted, separately from the system's phase count.
