Built for commercial power distribution, the Square D FHP36100 is a 3-pole MCCB from the classic F-frame family. It delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection for 100A circuits. Designed with a bolt-on mounting style, this unit installs into older Square D switchboards and motor control centers. It is an ideal maintenance component, replaceable by the modern HGL36100. Rated for 65kAIC at 240VAC, the breaker safely clears high-level faults and carries an HACR certification.
What enclosures or equipment is the FHP36100 compatible with?
This bolt-on F-frame circuit breaker is designed for installation in legacy Square D motor control centers and switchboards.
How is the FHP36100 installed in a system?
It features a unit-mount, bolt-on design. Instead of snapping onto a panelboard bus, it bolts directly to the equipment chassis or mounting pan.
Can the FHP36100 be used in DC power applications?
Yes, in addition to its standard AC ratings, this breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the lugs on the FHP36100?
The standard lugs accommodate 14 to 1/0 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire.
Is the FHP36100 a legacy breaker, and what is the modern equivalent?
Yes, the FHP36100 is part of the legacy Square D F-frame family. While it is still sourced for direct maintenance replacements, modern panel upgrades typically use the PowerPact H-frame series, such as the HGL36100.
What type of protection does the FHP36100 trip unit provide?
It uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit that provides both long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection.
