Product FAQs
5 answersWhat legacy circuit breaker does the BGL36100SA replace?
The Square D BGL36100SA serves as a direct drop-in replacement for the legacy F-frame FAL361001021 circuit breaker. The PowerPacT B-frame provides the same 100A rating and 120VAC shunt trip in a more compact footprint.
What does the SA suffix indicate on this BGL circuit breaker?
The SA suffix means this breaker includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip mechanism. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely for emergency shutdown or control panel integration.
How is the BGL36100SA mounted in a panel?
While listed as a unit-mount breaker, it features integrated DIN rail mounting for standard 35mm rails. It can also be mounted directly to a backpan using screws in industrial control panels and enclosures.
What type of wire terminals are included with this breaker?
The BGL36100SA features patented EverLink mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides. These lugs are designed to combat cable creep and provide a secure, long-term connection for 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
How does the PowerPacT B-frame design improve equipment protection?
B-frame breakers like the BGL36100SA utilize dual-break rotating contacts. This internal design reduces the amount of peak let-through current during a short circuit fault, enhancing overall equipment protection.
