Built for industrial environments, the Square D FH26100AC is a 2-pole, 100A molded case circuit breaker. It provides dependable thermal-magnetic protection with fixed LI trip functions. This legacy F-Frame breaker is designed for use with Square D I-Line panelboards. For facilities upgrading their switchgear, this model is replaced by the PowerPact HGA261002. The unit is distinguished by its AC phase connection, a Visi-Trip indicator, and a 65kAIC rating at 240VAC.

Product FAQs
7 answers
What does the AC suffix indicate on the FH26100AC catalog number?
The AC suffix specifies the jaw configuration for the I-Line plug-in connection. It dictates that the breaker will connect to the A and C phases on the panelboard busbar.
What equipment is compatible with the FH26100AC circuit breaker?
This F-frame breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It requires an I-Line plug-in mounting interface and cannot be used in standard load centers.
What is the current replacement for the legacy FH26100AC?
The legacy F-frame series has been replaced by the Square D PowerPact H-frame line. The direct modern equivalent for this breaker is the HGA261002, which maintains the 100A rating and AC phase connection.
What are the acceptable wire sizes for the terminals on this breaker?
The standard mechanical lugs accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper (Cu) conductors, or 12 AWG to 1/0 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors.
Is the FH26100AC rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC applications up to 250VDC, where it provides a 10kA interrupting rating.
Can the trip curve be adjusted on the FH26100AC?
No, this breaker is equipped with a non-interchangeable, fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous pickup levels are factory set and cannot be modified.
What does the LI trip function code indicate on this breaker?
The LI designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (L) protection for overloads and Instantaneous (I) protection for short circuits. Both functions are fixed on this model.
