Integrating thermal-magnetic protection into a compact B-frame footprint, this 100A molded case circuit breaker serves commercial and industrial distribution systems. The unit features fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions for reliable overcurrent defense. Designed specifically for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, it utilizes a factory-configured AB phase connection.

Installed & working
Ordered this from SuperBreakers when local vendors were quoting me 25%+.
So I got a refurbished version of this breaker.
It is installed and working.
Also, service was great.
Thank you SuperBreakers!
