Serving as a robust main breaker, the Q2M3100MB delivers 100 amps of thermal-magnetic protection for three-phase systems. It utilizes standard lug terminals for secure wire connections in commercial and industrial environments. The bolt-on design installs into compatible Square D switchboards and panelboards. It provides a 10kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC. A built-in Visi-Trip indicator allows facility managers to quickly identify tripped circuits without manual testing.
What type of enclosures are compatible with the Q2M3100MB?
This 3-pole main breaker is designed for installation in legacy Square D panelboards and switchboards that are configured to accept Q2M frame breakers.
Can the Q2M3100MB be used in single-phase applications?
No. This is a 3-pole circuit breaker specifically designed for 3-phase electrical systems.
What are the wire size requirements for the Q2M3100MB terminals?
The breaker is equipped with lugs that accept either aluminum or copper conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 300 kcmil.
How is the Q2M3100MB installed into the panelboard?
This breaker utilizes a bolt-on connection, meaning it must be mechanically bolted directly to the panelboard or switchboard bus assembly.
How does the trip mechanism function on the Q2M3100MB?
The breaker uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal component provides Long-Time (L) protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component provides Instantaneous (I) protection against short circuits.
Can the trip settings on the Q2M3100MB be adjusted in the field?
No. Both the thermal and magnetic trip functions on this Q2M frame breaker are fixed and non-adjustable.
Is the Q2M3100MB still an active Square D product line?
The Q2M series is considered a legacy MCCB frame. When replacing these units, panel builders often cross-reference them to the modern Square D PowerPact Q-frame series, such as the QBM models, provided the panelboard labeling permits the substitution.
