Description
Designed for remote tripping applications, the FAL361001021 is a 100A, 3-pole MCCB equipped with a 120-240VAC shunt trip. This F-frame unit-mount breaker installs into Square D control panels and switchboards. For modern replacements, the PowerPact HGL36100 requires a retrofit kit. It provides fixed thermal-magnetic (LI) protection with a 25kAIC rating at 240V. The breaker includes line and load lugs and a Visi-Trip indicator.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat does the 1021 suffix indicate on the FAL361001021?
The 1021 suffix denotes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely for emergency stops or automated control systems.
What type of mounting does the FAL361001021 require?
This is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker designed for standard Square D enclosures, control panels, and switchboards. It does not have plug-on jaws and is not compatible with I-Line panelboards.
Are the lugs on the FAL361001021 rated for aluminum wire?
Yes, the standard lugs are dual-rated for both copper (14 to 1/0 AWG) and aluminum (12 to 1/0 AWG) conductors.
Is the FAL361001021 suitable for direct current applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for 250VDC applications with a 10kA interrupting capacity.
Can I adjust the trip curve on the FAL361001021?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit trip functions are non-adjustable.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FAL361001021?
The FAL series is a legacy F-Frame breaker. For modern replacements, it typically crosses over to the Square D PowerPact H-Frame series, such as the HDL36100 with a shunt trip accessory, though dimensional and mounting differences may require panel modifications.
