Designed for three-phase industrial applications, this 100A MCCB provides reliable protection. It features an integrated 120VAC shunt trip, allowing users to remotely open the breaker. The three-pole device mounts into Siemens P1, P2, P3, and legacy ITE panelboards. It offers a secure bolt-on connection and serves as a substitute for BAB3100 and THQB32100. Rated for 10kAIC at 240VAC, the unit utilizes thermal-magnetic technology to clear faults and features a common trip mechanism.
What does the S01 suffix mean on the BQ3B10000S01 catalog number?
The S01 suffix indicates this breaker is factory-equipped with a 120V AC shunt trip accessory, which allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via an external control signal.
Is this breaker compatible with legacy ITE panelboards?
