Built for heavy-duty distribution, this 100A, 3-pole E-Frame circuit breaker delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection. It is designed to meet the demands of commercial facilities. This model mounts into Square D NF panelboards via a sturdy bolt-on connection. The lugs accept wire sizes from 14 to 2/0 AWG in copper and aluminum. It boasts a 65 kAIC rating at 240V and 35 kAIC at 480Y/277V. Additional features include an HACR certification and a Visi-Trip flag for rapid troubleshooting.
What panelboards are compatible with the EGB36100 circuit breaker?
The EGB36100 is designed exclusively for use in Square D NF series panelboards. It will not fit NQ, I-Line, or standard QO load centers.
What does the G in the EGB36100 part number signify?
The G indicates the interrupting rating tier within the Square D E-frame family. EGB breakers provide a 35 kAIC rating at 480Y/277 VAC, which sits between the standard EDB and high-interrupting EJB tiers.
Is there a higher interrupting rating alternative to the EGB36100?
Yes. If your system requires a higher fault current rating, the EJB36100 offers 65 kAIC at 480Y/277 VAC while maintaining the exact same physical footprint and NF panelboard compatibility.
Can I substitute an EDB36100 instead of the EGB36100?
The EDB36100 is the standard 18 kAIC version of this breaker at 480Y/277 VAC. It can only be used as a substitute if your system's available fault current is confirmed to be below 18 kA. Always verify required interrupting ratings before downgrading.
Does the EGB36100 feature an adjustable trip unit?
No, this breaker utilizes a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit with factory-set long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. It does not have adjustable dials for coordination settings.
What wire sizes are accepted by the EGB36100 terminals?
The factory lugs accept 14 to 2/0 AWG copper wire or 12 to 2/0 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure all conductors are properly sized for the 100A rating according to the National Electrical Code (NEC).
How does the EGB36100 connect to the panelboard?
This is a bolt-on circuit breaker. It secures directly to the NF panelboard bus using mounting bolts, which provides a secure mechanical and electrical connection designed for commercial and industrial applications.
What safety procedures are required when installing this bolt-on breaker?
Always completely de-energize the NF panelboard before installing or removing bolt-on breakers. Verify that all power is disconnected using a properly rated voltage meter and follow standard lockout/tagout protocols.
