Description
Designed for advanced control applications, this 100A F-frame molded case circuit breaker integrates a 120-240VAC shunt trip. This allows facility managers to remotely open the circuit for emergency shutdowns. It mounts securely into standard Square D commercial enclosures and switchboards. When transitioning to newer systems, this unit is replaced by the BDL36100 with a shunt trip accessory. Rated for 10kA at 240VAC, it provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection.Specifications

Product FAQs
8 answersWhat does the -1021 suffix mean on the FAL32100-1021?
The -1021 suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip. This accessory allows for remote tripping of the circuit breaker via an external control signal or emergency stop button.
What enclosures or panels is the FAL32100-1021 compatible with?
This F-frame breaker is designed for unit mounting in compatible Square D commercial enclosures and switchboards. It is bolted directly to the backpan and is not designed to plug onto an I-Line busbar.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the FAL32100-1021?
The factory-installed lugs on this 100A breaker are dual-rated for copper and aluminum conductors. They accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper wire, or 12 AWG to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire.
What is the modern replacement for the FAL32100-1021?
The legacy F-frame FAL32100-1021 is obsolete and has been replaced by the PowerPact B-frame series. The direct equivalent is the BDL36100, which requires a field-installable shunt trip accessory to match the -1021 functionality.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the FAL32100-1021?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit trip points are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does the FAL32100-1021 feature a Visi-Trip indicator?
Yes, this breaker includes Square D's Visi-Trip visual indicator. It displays a highly visible red flag when the breaker has tripped, making it easier to identify faults in a crowded panel.
How is the shunt trip wired on the FAL32100-1021?
The factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip includes pigtail leads that exit the side of the breaker. These leads must be connected to your external control circuit to enable remote tripping.
Is the FAL32100-1021 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this F-frame breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
